I have not been to NYC since iw as about 7 years old. I need to head back. About two or three years ago when the MOMA was remodeling, they sent an exhibition titled th HEROIC CNETURY to Houstojn and Berlin, and because of this the MET has seen fit to grace our city with these fantastic works. that is cool. ART! I LOVE ART!
