Artists and artisans have been intrigued and inspired by the topic of death and visions of life thereafter for millennia. Afterlives: Contemporary Art in the Byzantine Crypt brings together modern-day works that reckon with death and visualize the afterlife and Byzantine Egyptian funeral art and artifacts in part of the Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries known as the Byzantine Crypt (Gallery 302). The intimate and enchanting gallery with exposed brick walls and arched portals was unveiled in the year 2000 after a renovation that reclaimed the space beneath the Museum’s Grand Staircase. In this transhistorical presentation, the Byzantine Crypt’s religious and secular jewelry, textiles, ivory objects, vessels, and architectural sculpture from Early Christian and Coptic monastic sites are complemented and enriched by contemporary sculptures, works on paper, and installations from the 1960s to present day that similarly serve as memorials, reliquaries, and tokens to ward off evil.

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

This museum is well worth a visit. Highlights include the dinosaur gallery on the fourth floor, where you can see Tyrannosaurus and Brontosaurus fossils from the Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago. Also, the Big Bang film is a must-see. Also, the gem gallery is a must-see. And finally, the butterfly gallery is a must-see. Remember to ask for the gallery map when you pick up your ticket, or you&#39;ll get lost!

Very good Bronx Zoo, one of the must-see places in New York. I really like the facilities and garden design here. It is beautiful and friendly to watch. We didn&#39;t see many animals because it was raining.

There are too many highlights. If you want to talk about them by topic, just visit the Egyptian Pavilion. There are two unique highlights here. 1. See the temple. This is a temple that was moved from Egypt as a whole (the relocation project of the Aswan Reservoir). 2. The burial figurines of the major archaeological discoveries are very colorful and reproduce the life 4,000 years ago.
