Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City










Mo “What are you reading?”
Sa “An art book so I can talk about things we see.”














Mo “Oh, so what are we going to talk about.”
Sa “Enthusiastic are you? Good, this week we will talk about the MET.”

Mo “What is that?”
Sa “The Metropolitan Museum of Art.”








Mo “The building on the east side with the fountains in front, right?”
Sa “Yes, surprised you remembered.”

Mo “Well there are a lot of food people there.”
Sa “True to serve all the humans who visit everyday. Which has been going on since the museum was founded on April 13, 1870.”

Mo “Wait how are you going to talk about that place if we are not allowed in?”
Sa “Interesting question. Remember I was reading the book so I do not need to go inside to talk about the art. Plus, we can always talk about the outside.”




Mo “Ahh so we are going to talk about the outside. What about the stuff on the inside?”
Sa “Maybe in the future we can talk about that when the weather turns bad again.”
Mo “So what can you tell me about the building?”




Sa “The building was originally much smaller. As the years went by they added more and more to the museum to accommodate all the new pieces of art.”
Mo “If it was smaller where did the building go?”








Sa “A human can still see the old building inside the museum. They can stand in that part in the Medieval Court and can even see the old facade in the Petrie Sculpture Court.”
Mo “Thought you said you were only going to talk about the outside?”





Sa “You asked a good question and I wanted to give you the best answer.”
Mo “Mmmm, I am doing really good at asking questions lately.”


Sa “The last thing I will mention this week on the MET is that despite what humans see the outside is actually not done.”
Mo “What?! It looks done.”

Sa “If you look at the four pillars in front you can see some blocks. What do you think is missing?”
Mo “Wow, now I see, that looks like a stand for all those statues we pose in front of, right? So the building is missing statues.”












Sa “Very good. Due to money issue it never got finished. Now humans are so use to it that to spend the money would just be a waste and change the historic look of the building.”


 MoSa “And for all those humans who like the images here and want to see more you can visit our moms site to view or even purchase images from the link below. Remember all purchases helps our puppy parents buy treats.”
