We went specifically to see the special Superhero Costumes exhibit before it ends Sept 1st… that and Melvin’s mom who has been in NYC many times had never been to this particular museum.

It truly was the coolest thing ever…but no photography was allowed.
We then luckily got to catch another couple of special exhibits that will also be leaving soon.

Other than that we each got to pick a special area. I picked modern art.

Dante picked Arms and Armor. We probably spent over an hour fully engaged. It was pure learning awesomeness.

and finally both Anika and Dante picked Egyptian Art. Anika had enjoyed the special exhibits so much she didn’t have a particular interest in anything else and since Dante really wanted to see Egyptian Art she willingly agreed and was actually interested as well.

Unfortunately, Dante, with his many fears lately couldn’t stop thinking about the Samurai costumes and Egyptian mummy coffins at bedtime.
