Ha még egyszer alkalmam nyílna New Yorkba utazni, azt valószínűleg a MET kedvéért tenném és egy hétig ki se nagyon jönnék onnan…

Valóban gazdag és hatalmas anyag. Már csak a szoborcsarnoka és a látványraktára is napokat igényel. Ha egyszer eljutok New Yorkba hosszabb időre, akkor én is bevetem magam a MET-be.
