メトロポリタン美術館151周年記念でした。


説明文

In honor of a storied legacy of cultural １enrichment for New Yorkers and international communities alike, today’s Doodle celebrates the 151st Anniversary of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was ２founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens−businessmen and ３financiers as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day−who wanted to create a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. On this day in 1870, the museum was officially incorporated and soon after acquired its first work of art: a Roman sarcophagus.

4The Met has come quite a long way from that first showing to become New York’s largest art museum, with a ５permanent collection of over 1.5 million objects, spanning over 5,000 years from nearly every corner of the globe. A sampling of the many works of art found at The Met today are depicted in today’s Doodle artwork−including a Byzantine floor mosaic from 500-550 A.D., the armor of German Emperor Ferdinand I from the 16th century, an intricate traditional Lakota/Teton Sioux beaded dress, and the painting "Self-Portrait" by Samuel Joseph Brown, Jr. from the 1940s.

Whether you're a Met regular or planning your first trip to the Museum, be sure to visit a certain blue 6ceramic hippopotamus from Egypt’s Middle Kingdom nicknamed “William.” An unofficial mascot of The Met, he might soon become your favorite part of the collection.

Happy anniversary to The Met–and here’s to many more!

昨日はメトロポリタン美術館が1870年に開館した日でした。
所蔵品は200万以上とされており、全館を1日で回るのは不可能でしょう。
規模がかなり大きな美術館ですから。
まあ今コロナ禍で外国に行くという雰囲気にないのが残念です。
