Heavenly Fashion

We spent a good part of the day at the Metropolitan Museum. This is a view from an exhibition entitled "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," put on by the museum's Costume Institute, whose collection includes 35,000 costumes; the shot is from the medieval hall toward the rear of the museum. Our main objectives were two. 1) "Golden Kingdoms"-- Precious objects (especially  gold) from the Latin American, from the earliest years to 1500, and 2) William Eggleston's  Los Alamos series from 1964 to 1975--a pioneering project in color photography.  (It's a very different show from Stephen Shore's at MoMA which I saw yesterday, which was much more extensive and impressive.)  The extra is a view of the Met's cafeteria from the corridor outside.
