The Museums of New York City

When I am travelling overseas to postcard perfect cities all over the world my favourite thing to do is spend as much time as possible in dimmly lit rooms looking at dinosaur bones and ancient greek artifacts. Museums are my jam. I could spend hours or days exploring, making sure I see every last thing in every single room. And NYC offers some of the best museums I have had the pleasure to visit.

On my last trip back to NYC I revisted two of my favourites, the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The buildings are as beautiful and intriguing as the exhibitions themselves, while other patrons are photographing the Van Gogh and Monet, I am photographing the roof and random benches. It's enough to get some weird looks from security.

The other interesting part of spending time in museums for me is watching other people interact with the space and exhibits. It's the perfect place for people watching.
