The idea of cutting up a medieval manuscript is almost unthinkable today. Historically, however, this practice was relatively common, and it reached a fever pitch in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. People cut up manuscripts for various reasons: Dealers unwilling to pay weight-based import duties on large choir books opted to remove their decorated initials and dispose of the heavy bindings. Art lovers excised pictures from manuscripts and pasted them into albums; many considered this an act of freeing precious artworks from the text-filled books that held them captive. The dismembering of manuscripts was thus regarded not as vandalism but as a tribute to the otherwise hidden illuminations.

When I heard that this treasure-rich classical museum in Midtown New York has a museum with a rich collection of books, I immediately added it to my check-in list. After visiting it, it immediately upgraded to the top 3 museums in New York. Both the appearance of the museum and the exhibits inside give people a sense of surprise.

Such a spectacular museum is the private collection of the famous J.P. Morgan. According to the introduction in the museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art also has many of his donated collections. When I saw the library with a large scale of books, I instantly realized the true meaning of the old saying that books have their own golden house. The museum itself is also very architectural. It was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. The library and the architecture of the museum itself are cleverly integrated together. The classical library is full of books when you look up, coupled with the dark red printed walls and velvet curtains, full of literary and artistic temperament. I think reading here is also a different kind of enjoyment.

Best Things to Do

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a stunning art palace, with a rich collection that is enough to make people linger. Whether it is ancient Egyptian statues, European Renaissance paintings, or Asian calligraphy and porcelain, each exhibition hall is like a window to different civilizations. Just standing in the Egyptian Pavilion and looking at the fully restored Temple of Dendur is enough to make people marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient times.

In the European Painting Gallery, Van Gogh&#39;s &quot;Wheat Field and Cypresses&quot; and Monet&#39;s &quot;Water Lilies&quot; and other works are right in front of you, and every stroke is full of vitality. The Armor and Weapons Exhibition Hall is like walking into the world of medieval knights, and those finely crafted armors seem to still tell stories on the battlefield. Even if you spend a whole day, you still feel that time is not enough. Every time you enter an exhibition hall, you can find new surprises and you are reluctant to leave.

There&rsquo;s something magical about seeing the Empire State Building in real life&mdash;it feels like stepping into a movie. The architecture is stunning, and it stands so proudly over the city. I caught myself just looking up for a while, taking it all in. Definitely one of those New York moments that stays with you.
