Things one hears at The Metropolitan Museum of Art regularly:
- Can you tell me how to get to the Mona Lisa?
- I am interested in historical art. Where is that?
- Where is the art? I am only interested in the art.
- Which way to the dinosaurs?
-Where is Van Gogh?
-19th Century European paintings are on the second floor.
-No, I want to see Van Gogh.
-The impressionists are in that gallery. Some Van Gough paintings have been moved to the Vollard exhibit
-No, I want to see the regular Van Gogh.
-Oh, OK. Just take the elevator to the second floor.
-Do you have any Picasso here?
-Where is the Weenheart Republic German exhibit?
-Where is the important art?

That's funny. I enjoying observing fake art-patrons also. People are so easily impressed but what they are told they should like...
I loved the second floor of the Met too. I used to spend hours on end there... Not because of a specific painter, but because it transcended time, and took me back to another dimension... quite magical
/How often do you go there?
It's especially fantastic when these people have an attitude.
I am always there. The MET is pretty wonderful. Even when it's really crowded you can find a quiet corner and discover something new.
LMAO!
I have a friend who lives in NYC who claims that anyone outside of "the city" is just "katunar". hm... really?
