Recent Trip:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City

People are moving about, roaming around, walking from one room to another. A boy gets too close to a painting, a museum attendant friendly shooes him away. A couple walks hand in hand staring at their smartphones in the other hand. A Chinese tourist group seems to concentrate and absorb the collected noise patterns of the museum into its middle. Oblivious to all this an older hunched woman stares in concentration out of her thickly framed glasses at a priceless highlight. Scenes in a museum. People in museums are often just as fascinating and entertaining as the exhibits themselves. It´s one great reason to go, because visitors tend to complete the whole picture. It´s like street life in slow motion and with a roof above.

People go in, a few come out.
