Directions: As you look around the MET museum, please answer the following
questions. Some questions may require you to read descriptions of the art which
are normally located right next to the piece or even on the piece of art (e.g.,
sculptures). I have grouped the questions to specific kinds of art to help save time
since it is a BIG museum.
WARNING: If you do not give me this packet before 12pm, you will be disqualified!!
GO!
