Metropolitan Museum of Art – Egyptian Art, New York, USA

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, colloquially “the Met”, is the largest art museum in the Americas and the most-visited museum in the United States.  This blog shows Egyptians Art collections.

The Met collection of ancient Egyptian art consists of approximately 26,000 objects of artistic, historical, and cultural importance, dating from the Paleolithic to the Roman period (ca. 300,000 B.C.–A.D. 4th century). More than half of the collection is derived from the Museum’s thirty-five years of archaeological work in Egypt, initiated in 1906 in response to increasing Western interest in the culture of ancient Egypt.

I arrived near the subway station near the museum and walked toward the museum by crossing Central Park.

The Egyptian art was just next to the main entrance.

I paused the Egyptian art and looked at the sub-category display of African Art.
