I love museums; I love the long dimly lit hallways, the smells, the massive amount of objects found. I love the buzz felt by the crowd as they take in the beauty and a part of their past! However, when I have visited these monstrous structures, throughout my life, I have taken them for granted. As I walked down aisle after aisle, year after year, I failed to appreciate all the efforts of the many amazing people who made these wonderful institutions possible!
Take for instance one of my favorites, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, also known as the Met. “The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens, businessmen and financiers 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.”…..How great were these people! These and many other individuals responsible for the magnificent museums all over the world today, who had the foresight and vision to create such incredible institutions in which generation upon generation of world citizens could enjoy the treasures accumulated over thousands of years of the earth’s existence. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, started by a handful of clever people, has turned into one of the finest museums in the world with over “two 
million works of art spanning 5,000 years of world culture”.
If you’re a museum fan like me, you should check out the Metropolitan Museum of Art Pen Collection. The Metropolitan Museum of Art pens are beautiful pens that mimic some of the Met’s most spectacular artwork including beautiful frames, textiles, books and even shoes. Another great thing about these pens, a portion of the sale will go back to help support the museum! The museum just released two new pens that are simply fabulous: the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Pen and the 18th Century Parisian Pen.
Whenever possible we should give back, even in a small way, to these places that have given us so much! I am very thankful for all the time I have spent and will spend in my lifetime, as well the time my children and grandchildren will be spending in their lifetime; and I would just like to say thank you to all who were responsible in the beginning, over time and those who continue to support these extraordinary world treasures, museums.
