(Though I have to say, I’m sort of dying to go on one.)  No problem: the New York Times has a challenge for you.  An intrepid and clever photographer at the newspaper takes detail shots of different paintings in the museum, according to a different theme each week.  The NY Time’s question: Can you find the full paintings?  Even having worked there for an entire summer, I can’t say I recognize a single one… which is kind of embarrassing.  Then again, there are three million works in the Met’s collection, so I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad.

The posts begin with ‘The Hidden Collection‘, followed by last week’s ‘Animals’ and this week’s ‘Tabletops‘.  Image above from the New York Times website.
