<p>[QUOTE="Myron, post: 304907, member: 2163"]I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday mostly to see the painting of "Washington Crossing the Delaware". This painting was used on the design of the New Jersey State Quarter. After going in "circles" to find the painting, I finally learned that the entire hall was closed that day. It wasn't closed for renovations, however. It was closed because the Museum didn't have enough guards to watch-over the hall. I vigorously complained as no mention that certain halls were closed that day upon entering. They should give rainchecks when this is done. I had to return on Sunday when the hall was opened. The Met has numerous other masterpieces, but I really wanted to see this painting. It is enormous by the way. During a previous visit, the Met had a fire alarm going off (false alarm). We were all forced to leave and weren't given rainchecks, either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
