See tiny dioramas that show what life was like in the times of Tutankhamen and learn about the fascinating burial rituals of the era. You'll understand a little more of this at our next stop, Egyptian mummies and “William,” the Met's “mascot.” Next, onto a prize jewel of the Met Museum, the Temple of Dendur, an Ancient Egyptian Temple right smack in the middle of Central Park. More rumors abound at two of the next pieces we see – the armor of Britain's infamous King Henry VIII, and the Antioch Chalice, purported by some as, ‘The Holy Grail.” We'll see more ancient works of Greek statuary and Roman frescoes before moving to the exotic, with a stop in Papua New Guinea. We'll then head to the second floor to soak in some of Claude Monet's famous Water Lillies, be energized by the expressive works of Vincent Van Gogh, and be inspired by a bronze of Rodin's Thinker. 2 hr(s)
