Class Experience
Join me as we tour the Egyptian Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Avenue in New York City. We begin our tour just south of the museum, outside Central Park, and proceed north. We then explore a number of galleries in this wing, looking at a few specific artifacts, including mummies, jewelry, hieroglyphics, statuettes, and of course, the Temple of Dendur, often considered a highlight.

I absolutely love museums and always have. When I was in Nicaragua, I visited a small museum on the island of Ometepe and had to go find the curator to open it up for me. One of my only souvenirs from Nicaragua was a book I purchased at that museum. In Austria, Costa Rica, Scotland, Germany, Spain, and Ecuador, and wherever else I have gone, I am always finding myself at museums large and small, learning about the history and anthropology of the local people. But I always come home to the Met, one of my first, and one of my favorites. I go multiple times throughout the year, and have led visitors from around the world on tours of its many treasures.
