Grant's Tomb

I'm back from the grave...well tomb.
General Grant National Memorial is on my bucket list of places to visit in NYC and it was wonderful, in a respectful way.

Started off at Columbia University and the class of 2014 just left.

Grant's Tomb

Learnt my history.

Classic art framing peace message.

Modern art framing nothing.

I think they're empty.

Wit there are some stars missing.

Rotunda!

Not a gift shop item.

Marvelous marble.

Nice day outside, I need to do this again.

Met Tut

Went to the The Metropolitan Museum of Art to the former King Tut exhibit since it's been years since he last came around.

The front of Met on a beautiful day.


Nice wrapping better than most Christmas gifts.


The exhibit entrance.


I have the same clay pots for my cacti.


A picture of the valley of the kings.


Painted wall and unpainted statues.


A model boat from the regular Ancient Egypt exhibit.


5,000 years and flip-flops are still in vogue.


Ceramic jars contain the organs, just like in The Mummy.


What a book store! I can spend weeks here.
