I’m back-dating the blog to 2005, when we came to New York
with our son, Nathan, and a friend. We asked what they wanted to see, and the
answer was medieval. The Met has an impressive collection in its main
building, and much more at the separate Cloisters. The boys were particularly
interest in the arms and armor collection. The Met has the nation’s largest
such collection, and ironically Nathan would later live in Worcester, near the
Higgins Armory Museum, which housed the second largest collection. (The Higgins
closed at the end of 2013 and its collection is being transferred to the
Worcester Art Museum.) We also saw a few of the American paintings galleries.
