THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

This time of year the museum’s holiday displays attract many, and maybe that includes you. But other exhibits are also fascinating, like the one that shows us the original colors of Greek artifacts, like that of the lamp-size sphinx above. Although the sphinx’s appearance is a hazy gray color, scientists were able to reconstruct her in all her glory. The “Met” also boasts of a store with gift ideas in a large range of prices. If you are thinking of taking the number 4 bus south to W.82nd Street at Fifth Avenue and would like a LiLY volunteer to accompany you, give Paula a call at (646) 734-0182. Research shows that visiting at 11:00am on a Wednesday or Thursday will find a lower number of visitors than at other times. than at other times. Remember to wear your mask, of course.
