All about chairs at the Met

My latest visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in NYC left me impressed with the great collection of chairs from different eras and exhibit under different contexts all over the place.

From the old Egyptian Collection to modem days you will be able to see the similarities of design and the use of ornaments on such a basic piece of decoration.





If you are planning your next trip to New-York, don't forget to include at kest one day at the Met. And as I noticed the chairs as an common element all over the place, you might find another one that catch your attention as well. Let me know which one you found.




Remember that sometimes it's what catches your attention that matters.

See you tomorrow,

The Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer at the Neue Galerie, NYC

I was able to see this week at a small gallery in NYC, the famous painting the Woman in Gold by the austrian painter Gustav Klimt.

The significance of this painting expose at the Neue Galerie of New York is huge, no no...it's immense.


The long trip of the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (real name of the painting) coming from Vienna's Belvedere Gallery to the Neue Galerie in Manhattan it's such a wonderful story about history, justice and strength.

This is a story that needs to be read or watched before going to see the painting.



The movie the Woman in Gold, starring Helen Mirren as Maria Altmann and Ryan Reynolds as her lawyer is such a good story. Try to watch it before going to see the painting, it makes such s difference. It make you feel like been in front of a piece of history.

The Neue Galerie is located in 1048 Fifth Avenue (two blocks from The Metropolitan Museum ).

P.S.: the Museum is free the first friday of each month.


Enjoy your day, see you tomorrow.
