Paris in New York: The Met
Well, finding Paris in New York is much easier than I thought–especially if you take your search to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Today, I took an incredibly long cab ride from my hotel in SoHo to the museum–clearly I was being ripped off as the ride home took a mere 10 minutes. The rest of the day made up for all that.
Looking at the photo above, you would guess I might be at, oh, I don’t know, perhaps Versailles. I say that because every room there looks very similar to this one. One whole section of the Met’s European collection is devoted to recreated rooms from hôtel particulars–those grand old mansions built around center courtyards in and around Paris. The particular elements from this room were taken from one located in Saint Germain. Truly, walking through this exhibit really had me confused with where exactly I was.
The name on this shop window says it all!
Lots more where these came from, but, hey, I am in New York and a girl has to move and groove! More later.
