BassClef Posted March 23, 2018 Report Posted March 23, 2018 Photos from the grand reopening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Music Wing, which has been closed for a couple of years. The place looked very nice. Better lighting, nicer displays. Still a lot of glare from the glass. Overall a good job. The other half of the wing will reopen later this year, I believe, and it will house more of the World instruments. I am uploading these unprocessed except for size so the photos are as realistic as possible and it saves me time that I don't have to retouch them all. Pardon any images that aren't focused. I'll be back again and if there are any instruments or views that you want to see in the future, let me know!

Violadamore Posted March 23, 2018 Report Posted March 23, 2018 This all looks stunning, and your photographs are wonderful. Could you please try to get closer and different-aspect shots of these ancient Egyptian instruments and their placards?
