A Visit to the Met

Every time I visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, I find new things to entrance me. Here are some old favorites, as well as a few new gems.

Degas' "At the Milliner's" (1882)

Degas' "At the Milliner's" (1881)

Half of the museum was cordoned off because half of the guards were off for the holiday. This was how close I could get to a Rembrandt... sadface.

Drum roll please...

ArtBabble was launched today by the Indianapolis Museum of Art! It's the only online site that exclusively caters to art videos, which can often get lost in the chaos of youtube and other sites. So far it has included works from Art:21, the Los Angeles Museum of Art, the MoMA, the San Fransisco MOMA, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and the New York Public Library (other than the Indianapolis Museum of course). My Midwest roots are beaming with pride. Let the video searching begin!
