met: new american wing

I never got a chance to post this, but I went to the MET a bit ago and saw the new American Wing that has been renovated. WHAT a nice surprise. In the sunlit room, there is glassware, pottery, jewelry, crystal pieces, metalwork and more primarily from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s. There are even some significant stained glass pieces from the Tiffany collection. It's so inspiring to see the amazing craftsmanship and evolving design styles and aesthetics from the good old USofA. Definitely recommend this Wing for your next MET visit - as you know you have to pick and choose your sections for each visit since this place is SO huge~ Some highlights I chose from the exhibit photographed below...
