A DAY AT THE MET 2008

Nice job with the pics Lew. Photographing piece on exhibition is alway a difficult thing to do and these look pretty good.

Thanks Lew
great pictures, made even more difficult with all that plate glass

Love the two Kopis ....surprised that there was no Khopesh amongst the Egyptian artefacts (both the Kopis and Khopesh are two of my favourite ancient weapons.)

Regards David

Thanks All

Here are a few more pics of some pacific island items that were on display. The last pic is a Native American woodlands club.

Thank you Lew, wonderful pictures!!! Let me say that it's a shame that the Monteleone chariot, a unique masterpiece of the Etruscan art, is not in its original land.... anyway... there is also an african and indonesian section in the MET? thanks again
