I went to the Met today to see the new Greek and Roman galleries. It is a really expansive and impressive collection, and I felt like I was back in Rome and Greece. Lots of sculptures, beautiful collections of carved amber, gold jewelry, glass vases, and candelabras. Even the floors have been redone and tiled. There is so much to see. I loved the interiors of the Pompeii house, the colors are amazingly bright even though it's from 50-40 BC.

Someone stole this photo...I guess someone liked it.

The manager insisted I hang the pictures starting at the bottom tier of windows this year. Why, I'm not sure. I was afraid that they would be bumped against when people sat down. They were taped up securely with packing tape and whoever peeled it off must have had some very sharp nails. At the opening someone also stole my umbrella.
