[Leica] The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Nathan,

Thanks for looking.

It is really a stunning museum. You should make time for it next time. To
me it is preferable to the Louvre or British Museum, both of which are
obvious reigning High Temples of Loot!

This visit I did not have time to go to the Guggenheim, the Frick or the
other stunner in NYC, The Museum of Natural History. Next time maybe.

I did go to our museum, B&H, a couple of times - once to sell some stuff,
and another to buy some!

Cheers
Jayanand
