Walking up to the museum, it was very pretty and aesthetic, setting a fancy tone as there were fountains going. It was a tad bit chaotic entering the museum though. It was a little busy, which was understandable and purchasing my ticket was awkward. I didn&#8217;t know the zip code for Staten Island and I didn&#8217;t understand what he was asking when he wanted me to pick how much I paid. With that I get that it&#8217;s the donation aspect of it, but I hate making decisions, especially one of that, so he just put my total at $1. Going through the museum, it was extremely vast, with pieces of art at every corner. It was extremely hot in there, especially since it was raining that morning and we had dressed to accommodate that. It was definitely not as quiet as the other art museum I had been to (Nelson Atkins in KC), it was a lot more comfortable of an atmosphere. As one who never fully understood the love of art entirely, I did get a tad bored. But there were still pieces of art that struck my interest. Mostly due to my lack of an attention span, I didn&#8217;t care to look as deeply into the art pieces as others may do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8689-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8689-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8689-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8689-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8689-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/french2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2025\/09\/IMG_8689-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved this piece. I&#8217;m a sucker for anything floral and with that gold frame it was just chef&#8217;s kiss. With that I noticed that I felt more enjoyment or desire to take a picture when the painting&#8217;s main idea was focused on nature, flowers, or landscapes, rather than one&#8217;s depicting figures or people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the trip was good. But for me, I don&#8217;t feel the need to go again nor the hype of the MET. It definitely was a cool experience to say I&#8217;ve gone, however, my viewpoint on art still hasn&#8217;t changed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday.
