The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is a very crowded place on a Saturday in the summer. When visiting at that time my strategy is to go off to the peripheral galleries. This one is the American Wing with a statue of Diana from 1893 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
The American Wing has stained glass windows by Frank Lloyd Wright
and
Louis Comfort Tiffany.
This is a Tiffany designed and decorated column.
Looking out to the ground floor from the mezzanine.
Close to the American Wing is the Egyptian Temple of Dendur from 15 BC.
Nearby are columns whose capitals are in the form of lotus blossoms.
