I have unfortunately never been to the Met in real life, but was able to go on a virtual tour. The experience overall was not bad, but nothing compared to really walking through an exhibit. It was, however, my first experience with the YouTube 360° feature, and there’s something about being able to spin around a museum floor without worrying about embarrassing yourself or knocking into someone that is so satisfying. The Great Hall was the first stop of this six video journey, and while you do not get an entirely clear picture of the actual artwork in the building, you get a good idea of the hall itself. You can see the floral arrangements of the entryway, as well as the oculus in the ceiling. The next video features The Met Cloisters, which features beautiful stained glass windows and has an impressive natural scenery to match. The building is dedicated to Medieval European art and architecture, after all. In the background, you can clearly hear the bell tower ring, which adds a certain sanctuary feeling to building. There are a number of statues which seem to depict religious scenes and even tombs, but it is not clear due to the distance from the art pieces presented. The third video showcases The Temple of Dendur, which, speaking from personal experience, is a much more accommodating tourist attraction than the real pyramid tombs in Giza. The reflecting pool in the Egyptian donated temple is meant to resemble the Nile, and the location of the exhibit in this wing is meant to reflect its original location in Nubia. The fourth video takes us through the Met Breuer, which is dedicated to modern and contemporary art. Sadly this location was permanently closed, and quite honestly did not offer much in terms of interest. The Charles Engelhard Court, on the other hand, left little to be desired. The entire first floor is littered with statues, the most impressive of which is a gilded sculpture of Diana. These sculptures can almost be confused as more tourists, making the room never feel empty. The second floor prominently features vases, colored pottery, and other artifacts. Finally, the Arms and Armor Galleries features a collection of weaponry and protective covering from multiple continents. While the other buildings contain several beautiful artworks, the galleries specialize in these ornamental pieces that will give you the feeling of being on a battlefield at a given time in history, depending on the part of the exhibit you visit. Some of the best art pieces you witness are the ones that will take you through time and recreate moments you were never present for.
