I
found the website for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to be easy to
navigate. The galleries and collections of the museum were easy to find
and browse. I liked the tools that are included which allow for narrowing
by time period, artist, materials, medium, etc. The online listings for
the art that the museum is not currently showing were also good, because even
if I were able to actually go to the museum I would not be able to see these
pieces. I could easily spend a few hours browsing art on
their website, because I quickly found many things that interested me. I did
not expect the museum to have a collection of medieval arms and armor, as I am
used to seeing those at history museums instead of an art museum. This
collection immediately got my attention because of my interest in medieval
times, and 30 minutes had gone by before I knew it. I was able to learn more
about things that I am interested in, and will be spending more time browsing
the collections later.
