8. Met Trip

The Met hands down has to be one of the most exciting, and all around best trips I have ever taken at ESM. It wasn't as though we all had to experience the same locations, yes there were required pieces to go view and contemplate, but we were free to roam the areas in which intrigued us. My favorite portion of the museum was definitely the Asian wing which consisted of  a mixture of vintage and slightly more modern kimonos. I wasn't able to get photos since we ventured there last and were pressed for time, but they were truly works of art. I'm slightly disappointed I hadn't gone on the third Met trip that was offered, it never gets old. Every time you go you end up discovering a whole section you completely skipped over in your past visits.





I didn't upload them in any order, I just wanted to show you the pieces that caught my eye. I'm more of a fan of paintings than sculptures, but the African wooden statues really interested me. The way they captured the human form in a loose and creative way just baffles me. I'm some what envious I can't do the same.
