Ellis Island

Visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on a sultry, sprinkly day. Took the ferry over and spent time at both places. Interesting to a point; my ancestors came from Ireland through Ellis Island. The most striking memory was of the luggage, packages and belongings brought over.

Metropolitan Museum

lattice work in the Arab collection

Took a day trip to NYC and spent most of the time in the MET. The new Arab Culture section is quite overwhelming; needs a whole day to see everything.

DeMuth 'Number 5'

Another special exhibition was the Steiglitz Collection and this was one of my favorites. That is aside from favoites from Georgia O'Keeffe [Steiglitz' wife].

bloginfo: Also visited the Frick. Beautiful building and great collection. Caught a few Picasso drawings from the special exhibition.
blognote: Don't miss the video explaining the background of the building.
