The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is easily among the most impressive architectural structures in the United States. It is a gorgeous Greek revival affair of columns and sculptures, that conjures visions of the height of Greek and Roman civilization. I have walked past it countless times at all hours of day and night and I'm always impressed with its grandeur among the modern buildings of Fifth Avenue.
Entering you have a weeks worth of viewing to accomplish in a matter of hours, here you have even more to pour through than at the American Museum of Natural History, as incredible as that may sound to those who have wandered those endless halls and corridors. The exhibits are spellbinding, the detail is exacting, and you may travel a span of several thousand years of manmade works of art and style in the course of a days wanderings.
