The weekend after Christmas we headed down to NJ to visit relatives. We love to stop in NYC on the way. This time, for the first time, we brought the children to one of my favorite places: the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here are some of our favorite things we saw:
Anne loves Ancient Egypt!
Jack loves arms and armor!
This came out a bit blurry, but I loved the big tree they had with all the angels and the kreche set.
And while we were enjoying the period rooms, we decided that it is a very good thing that my husband did NOT live in the 1600’s!

Great photos, it looks a really interesting place to visit. I love places with period rooms, so great.
It’s an amazing place!
I can’t believe I’ve never been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I need to go! Your kids have the same passions that mine did when they were younger. My daughter even learned to read hieroglyphs. .Here’s Mine
We only had time for one museum when we visited NYC, so we decided on modern art. Hope to return one day and see this one.
I love Museums!
Love the horses’ armor. They look like they are going on parade.
I love the Met and really would like to see it at Christmas – one of these days. . .
it is so beautiful! my picture did not do the tree justice.
I sometimes wish I could time-travel to go back and experience things first hand. Thanks for the trip back in time!

I’ve always wanted to time travel, too!!
I’ve only been to NYC once, but the Metropolitan Museum of Art was one of my favorite stops on that trip!
We love visiting museums!! So much to see and learn.
Wow, how tall is your husband?
He’s between 6’2 and 6’3. 🙂
Every time I visit the Met, I always find something new to marvel at! … makes me wish I lived closer to the city …
Wonderful photographs! Thanks for sharing!!
Here is my snapshot post.
Nice pics, I especially like the Christmas tree picture. Hope to get to that museum one day…
Fun! I loved that your kids got to see things that they loved at the Museum!
