A day at the MET










We decided to bring Samantha on her first visit to a museum and we chose the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art since it recently opened its amazing new Greek and Roman Exhibit.

This new Greek and Roman exhibit is housed in a newly renovated wing and the pieces have not been made public for decades. It's absolutely amazing. One of the pieces, a 6th century Etruscan chariot, is not only a delight but is actually controversial. It was unearthed originally from a small town called Monteleone in Umbria and the citizens of that town is laying claim on this relic.
