That Egyptian Temple (of Dendur) Inside the MET Museum
In Egyptian Temple, jerome baladad photos, MET Museum, metropolitan museum, NYC, take it as it is on May 31, 2008 at 7:38 pm
One of my favorite nooks (which is not a nook actually, but a premier spot inside) in Metropolitan Museum, this Egyptian Temple right inside the huge Met never fails to attract my attention every time I find myself in the museum. Just outside the enclosed, security-tight large glass windows is the Central Park. Can you imagine having these edifices in Egypt over 3 thousand years ago, and zooming in now to present time, where they’re relocated inside the Met? It’s a concrete architectural testament to the God-given greatness of the human spirit to overcome time passage, and get itself continue to attract research, curiosity, and thinking about the concept of “culture” as it was and how it is currently. These structures inside give me ideas of how great and amazing the structures would have looked like when they were still out there in Egypt. That gives me reason to explore opportunities to travel to Egypt, and see the pyramids there. You’d even be surprised to discover that inside the Met Museum is found a huge room full of artifacts, complete sets of interesting items that will give the interested visitor an idea of how man lived at least over 3 thousand years ago in Egypt. You’d need a lot of time to spare just visiting these exhibits. Someone even told me another museum in Brooklyn [Brooklyn Museum] has more to offer about Egyptian antiquities!
