A day in the museum

My daughter refused to go to the beach on Sunday (I've been there 100 times already) so, after a brief negotiation, we settled on the Metropolitan Museum. This time it was marked by finding the greatest parking space for Met - the very corner of 83rd & 5th. The amount of people entering museum at 9:45 was staggering, but there is a small entrance to the left of the main stairs that always seems to be empty :smile:
Here're the pictures, please CC. E-P1 + 20/1.7, 9-18 and Konica 57/1.4

Yes, gotta try to crop out the frame more. I actually was trying to get some wall on the outside of door frames but tilted camera a bit every time , so had to crop it out.

 

Thank you.
Do you mean any more pictures? Sure :smile:...

Explanation






Some older shots:

Perseus and Medusa






Anne looking at Perseus and Medusa. After that visit she's been interested in Greek myths and can now figure out who an ancient statue is of half the times.






Looking at pictures






At a fountain

 

Nah... You're right, I thought I had it, but the lady moved in just a bit... On a busy day it's difficult to get a nice shot of a room with people standing the way you want, so I firmly decided not to get frustrated :smile: Made 6 shots of this same place (only 2 acceptable). I liked the fact that 3 colors of the walls and 2 portraits are visible.
