We spent a couple hours a the Metropolitan Art Museum at my request. Everyone begrudgingly went, it was one of the first absolutely gorgeous days that we'd had. I enjoyed the time there, although was disappointed. It doesn't quite compare to the Louvre or Smithsonian. They have a little bit of everything but nothing is really extensive. I think my biggest disappointment was that they had just opened a new section featuring Barcelona artists and they emphasized that they were highlighting Dali. They featured a number of nice Spanish artists, quite a few Picasso's and three Dali's, three. Not sure how you can market him as one of the feature artists when there are a minimum number of his works. And they didn't allow cameras in that wing of the museum.
