Skyward glimpses of the newly-renovated American Wing and Islamic Art galleries, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. You could spend days here and still not see everything.

Thats they joy of a good museum or art gallery they should not be meant to fit in on any one morning or day.
The ceiling is spectacular.

It sure does pay to look up, doesn't it?
Adele - I always wondered what it would be like to spend days at a place like the Met museum - so many worlds to discover! :)
Paul - so very true, part of the joy is the return journey, knowing there is more to see and learn!
Randy, Tanya, John - I loved that ceiling too - and yet noticed no one else was looking up!
LOLfromPasa - aw, thanks so much! More my luck to have been near these treasures - hard to take a bad pic of them! :)
Mo - thank you!
EG - it sure does! Everyone else was concentrating on the walls, but sometimes there's beauty above. :)
Esta muy bien la trasicion de luz entre interior y exterior consiguiendo que todo este bien iluminado.
