Day 2 : Metropolitan Museum of Art

There was very heavy snow fall. We took the subway to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and was caught in heavy snow ! We had to walk some distance to from the subway station to the museum. We both struggled to walk through the snow.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an art museum located on the eastern edge of Central Park, along what is known as Museum Mile in New York City, USA. It has a permanent collection containing more than two million works of art, divided into nineteen curatorial departments. The main building, often referred to simply as "the Met," is one of the world's largest art galleries, and has a much smaller second location in Upper Manhattan, at "The Cloisters," which features medieval art.

The sculptures in the photo are more than 2000 years old, from Mesopotamia.

After visiting the museum, we were both very tired due to the jet lag. We went back to the hotel in the afternoon to sleep, and woke up at around 9pm !

Actually it was New Year's Eve, and we had planned to go to Times Square to watch the famous count-down celebrations. But we were both so tired, and it was so cold out there. So we decided to stay in our warm and cozy hotel room, and watch the count down from TV instead.
