New York travel|One day see the world, one day see the millennium.

in #new7 years ago

The third day, I went straight to the metropolitan museum. As to the British museum in London, England, France the Louvre in Paris, st. Petersburg, Russia el meters tower one of the world four big museum, museum, and with the presence of the United Nations headquarters in New York, constitutes the human past with future two big intersection. The former (the metropolitan museum) records the human past, while the latter (United Nations headquarters) depicts the future of humanity in its depiction, planning, and outlook.
This is probably one of the best museums in the world. 3.3 million exhibits, when is vast, have become twice as fast as the amount of the Palace Museum collection, and wins in contains various periods, countries all over the world, all kinds of related collection of culture, architecture, sculpture, painting, glass, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, furniture, weapons and instruments, and all have, and none is not fine, be called an unparalleled.
From ancient Egypt the most primitive stone to the middle ages golden armor, from the Aegean sea to the rococo style of art, from leonardo Da Vinci to Picasso, from Madonna to maitreya, from symmetry and repeat the beautiful European courtyard to Bridges the somebody else's garden in suzhou. Changes and innovation of human history, war and peace, faith and love, great and ordinary, thick with luxury, fine and proper aesthetic feeling to the extreme, have really been preserved here.
I want to, can be a witness to the human and the world, is the metropolitan lucky, and have the opportunity to can in one day will be the essence of take in everything in a glance, one thousand years of human civilization is the lucky every audience.
The appearance of the metropolis is unremarkable, especially in the tall buildings of New York, which seems to be more of a crowd, but inside is a big one. And no tickets for metropolitan, a donation is made, has suggested contributions, but less than the amount is no problem, lies a you "give how much to how much love and despises you give it some money" flavor of the local tyrants, please keep your high cold)
But for the sake of conscience, after all such a famous museum, I still have to donate money to go in, and come out to feel the value of my flower. After all, this place can give you this kind of habit of looking at the world's treasures and giving up to all people.
After sent tickets will give everyone a small circular M stickers, with this small sticker can be out of the pavilion, convenient to go out to buy something to eat, because most people entered is one day, don't spend a day, are not willing to part with or use, can stay one day again carry not to live, so the inspection way also is very humanization. Also provides the rental clothing service and the storage service, the clothes wear more clothes to have the method, is the ratio very intimate!
In addition to the most important is to provide a variety of language voice navigation, navigation, of course, English would be much more than the Chinese navigation, but given that these works of art genre name I don't understand Chinese, you better listen to Chinese, with the mentality of how much calculate how much, but actually quantity also many, also pretty satisfied.
Exhibition of Egyptian culture, will display a complete Egyptian temple, let you personally feel ancient civilization with the fear of god solemnly and European interior decoration, royal live shows since the 14th century Europe various indoor, let my desire is to live here every day, to wipe glass, culture part of Asia, especially China pavilion, combine light, sound, and exhibits, create the unique Chinese culture if if no hazy feeling and mystery, stylist such profound design capability does not lose any museum in China. This is the ingenuity.
However, it is true that this is the place where you know that you are illiterate. In addition to a little bit of knowledge about Chinese culture, you can only look at other exhibits and see the excitement. Superficial knowledge of the history of the world would not let me understand all kinds of weapons and armor are used where the battle in the end, art has always been on the pretence of lectures while secretly homework I will look at the Renaissance) daubed familiar, meets the magnificently decorated the rococo palace only girl heart ahhh screams and plaint about the theory of luxury royal China and France are really
Of course, it was so exciting to think that it could not be so illiterated, and then the blood went down on the book of the world's brief history, but it's still in Roman times, and that's the end of the story.
But I was shocked that such a great museum was built on donations. In many ways, the metropolitan museum's story is a unique American story.
This is a story of ambition, civil liability and generous pay: it comes from the July 4, 1866 in Paris, a lunch, copied from European royal sponsored by centuries of European museums, a famous American lawyer John jay announced in the day, the United States needs to own art museum, the presence of a group of American citizens have vowed to joint efforts for it. So the met became a reality four years later. The millions of exhibits over the next 100 years have been donated by a large number of bankers, wealthy businessmen and artists
This is a museum built for citizens and built for citizens. The ambitious idea - that is, without the church or the royal family, and determined to share with the public art donors, accumulation of art from private sources, not only survive, but its meaning has never been cut.
It has to be said that it is also an advantage of civilization.
