Metropolitan Museum of Art 10.15.24

I enjoyed a lovely visit with my sister to view the E.C. Moore collection before the exhibit closed. We also made our way around the museum and viewed The Roof Top Garden, Look Again: European Paintings 1300-1800 and The Robert Lehman Collection.

Edward C. Moore (1827–1891)—was an innovative silversmith who led Tiffany & Co. to soaring success during the second half of the 19th century. Mr. Moore amassed a large collection of decorative items in several materials. Glass, Silver and Terracotta. The exhibition Collecting Inspiration: Edward C. Moore at Tiffany & Co. featured more than 180 items from his personal collection, which was donated to the Met at the time of his death with an additional 70 silver objects designed and created at Tiffany & Co. under his direction.

Its always thrilling to see an artist at work while you’re at a museum.

My sister captured me viewing Wolf and Fox Hunt by Peter Paul Rubens 1616

I love the art and objects in the Robert Lehman Collection. These two works by Kees van Dongen are delightful. Avenue du Bois and At the Racetrack

Some Greek and Roman antiquities. This basin is purple and from the 2nd - 3rd century A.D. The bedroom is from 50 - 40 B.C.

I am always thrilled to visit my second favorite place - behind the Chalet! I’ve listed a few past articles you may enjoy! Til next time friends be well and I’ll see you over on Instagram!
