A tourist in New York City with photo camera. #travelphotography. #streetphotography. Metropolitan Museum. People, entrance, works
On
March 30, 1880, after a brief move to the Douglas Mansion at 128 West
14th Street, the Museum opened to the public at its current site on
Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street. The architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey
Mould designed the initial Ruskinian Gothic structure, the west facade
of which is still visible in the Robert Lehman Wing. The building has
since expanded greatly, and the various additions—built as early as
1888—now completely surround the original structure. - See more at:
