NYC Museums

Some of the greatest museums in the US and the world are found in New York City.
Both the Met and the Brooklyn allow for still photography, but no flash, tripods, or packs.
I found many of the early civilization's art, mostly statuary, beautiful and intriguing.
The Brooklyn Museum had the better Egyptian exhibit.
