The MET Tour; The Woman and the Seed

The Metropolitan Museum of Art. A most gorgeous building and landmark in NYC. It borders Central Park and is on 5th Avenue (The Avenue of Museums) Just a few blocks from the 86th/Lexington Avenue trains (4,5,6) it's pristine to walk to and each morning the steps are thoroughly washed.

incredible shot of the front of the MET with NOONE ...so sweet

Ankh - Pagan symbol for life - where the Cross got it's beginning

something so old retains its colour..wow

slaves

False dooway to a tomb, the priests would put food outside the doorway for the dead and that little window was there for them to look in.

Tomb of Meketre

This tomb held small figurines of daily life...i dunno for the dead to play with or what???

a sarcophocaus

See those little circles above those figures?? That means they are divine and the circles are called solar discs (where halo's came from) These were all pre-christian

Take this tour to find out how Jehovah (the only true God) protected his people throughout the centuries and will continue to protect his people now, and for days to come!; Monday, August 13, 2012 at 12:05:00 PM EST
your sister in maryland said...: Thank you for posting these pics AND for either explaining what the pics were or taking a pic of the explanation given. My family went on this tour during a Bethel trip but I was unable to go because the bus was full. They brought back a lot of pics but no explanations of what they were so I couldn't understand what I was looking at. Google-ing the tour I came across your blog.....thank you sis! I now dont feel so left out as you did a wonderful job of capturing the atmosphere and artifacts.; Monday, May 27, 2013 at 8:48:00 AM EST

Pictures are wonderful BUT I've done this tour several times including "integrity" and each time we've been reminded by our tour guide that although pictures are ok to take as allowed by the MET , they should not be posted on the internet per the MET's request.

This from the Oasis Group Tours page:

Can we take photographs?
Yes. Photographs can be taken, however please keep in mind the following:
1) As per museum rules, your camera’s flash must remain off at all times.
2) As per our arrangement with the museum and in view of certain copyright restrictions, we also require that such pictures be for personal use only. We encourage you to share your experience with family and friends, so private use of your photos is fine. However, no tour participant may duplicate or reproduce the tour contents and/or exhibits for others to use. This includes, but is not limited to, distributing copies of your photos on CD/DVD, video tape, digital presentation, and internet photo or video sharing.; Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 8:39:00 AM EST
