1.31 參觀大都會博物館

大都會博物館最好的地方在於可以自由拍照，且其網站介紹及教育資源也很豐富

如果有技巧的話，還可以很便宜的價格自由參觀喔

不過英國的博物館幾乎都是不收費的~因為搜刮太多屬於別國的東西的了 :)

(一) Art and Love in Renaissance Italy

November 18, 2008–February 16, 2009 /Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor

http://www.metmuseum.org/special/art_love/images.asp

"This exhibition explores the various exceptional objects created to celebrate love and marriage in the Italian Renaissance. The approximately 150 objects, which date from about 1400 to the mid-16th century, range from exquisite examples of maiolica and jewelry given as gifts to the couple, to marriage portraits and paintings that extol sensual love and fecundity, such as the Metropolitan’s Venus and Cupid by the great Venetian artist Lorenzo Lotto. The exhibition also includes some of the rarest and most significant pieces of Renaissance glassware, cassone panels, birth trays, and drawings and prints of amorous subjects."

"In 2008, Philippe de Montebello—whose long and storied career at The Metropolitan Museum of Art spanned nearly a third of the institution’s entire history—retired after more than thirty-one years as director. Mr. de Montebello, who first joined the staff as a curatorial assistant in 1963, became director in 1977, and assumed the additional role of chief executive officer in 1998.
To celebrate Philippe de Montebello’s years as director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum’s Forum of Curators, Conservators, and Scientists organized an exhibition of approximately three hundred works of art—from a total of more than eighty-four thousand—that were acquired during his tenure.
