We went on Tuesday, and upon arriving were told the show had closed 2 days before, on Sunday.<br />After about 5 minutes of bemoaning my bad planning, we started roaming the galleries, knowing the Met is always overflowing with wonderful and varied art of all kinds, and at every turn.<br />Thanks for the visit, Carol.William Ternayhttp://postcardsfromphilly.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-62229891985626944482012-01-13T14:16:41.899-05:002012-01-13T14:16:41.899-05:00I do love the American portraits with pets.

We need to get here!
