  After 911 we visited Manhattan  for the first time. Every time I turned a corner, I saw art i recognized in the Met. When I saw my first Rembrandt I started crying like a baby.

  Honestly, one of the best explanations I’ve seen.

  I lived in Manhattan for two years, and would walk across Central Park almost  every weekend to go to the MET. It truly changed my life and opened up my mind tremendously. I’ve been obsessed with ancient art/artifacts/history ever since.

  When I was younger, I thought looking at art and listening to classical music was so pretentious, but now that I've grown I can see the beauty in so many different ways and appreciate the effort put in all shapes and forms of art.

  Art helps to see how beautiful the person you're with IS.  Eye contact is so rude nowadays.

  The top museums of the world must include the  Louvre in Paris , the Prado in Madrid, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Vatican Museums in Rome, the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the British Museum in London, the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and the Met in New York. The very best works of art can be found in these places.

  Biggest regret of my life was giving myself 2 hours to tour the museum. I knew it was famous and iconic but never imagined it's magnitude. I want to go back and spend the whole day there. That still wouldn't be enough.  Absolutely amazing.

  I’m a New Yorker and yet I make sure to visit my favorite museums at least once a year, the Met & the MoMA being two of them. The first time I went to the Met was for a school trip when I was about six. I’ve never missed a year since. It’s a museum that feels like home, visiting my favorite artworks time and again, yet there seems to always be something new to learn, rooms to explore and a new appreciation to have for the myriad of artwork spanning the world over thousands of years.
