The weather has been wonderful here the past few nights, prompting us to go take in the evening skyline and see the new rooftop exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, the exhibit is Tomás Saraceno’s “Cloud City,” made of up stacking and interlocking geometric shapes. As always, the people-watching was half the fun–especially watching the people watch themselves in the mirrored surfaces. (I have to admit, we snapped a few self-portraits from time to time, too.) And you can climb up into the piece with a ticket for a timed-entry. The photos of the installation process are pretty wild.
As always, the roof of the Met is a must for anyone visiting the city during the summer!

These pics are phenomenal!
Thanks, Andi!
that looks SO cool! i’m off to NYC this summer, so i hope i make it out to cloud city…
ps. that shot of the little kid + his dog, pressed up against the mirror, is amazingly cute!
On the Met website, they advise pregnant women against the exhibit!! Any reason you can see whey I shouldn’t visit this 6 months pregnant!? Also, they say no children, but I see from the photo they bend the rules? I’d love to go visit this!
These photos are phenomenal. Thanks so much for sharing. Hopefully, I’ll get up to NYC this summer and, if I do, I’ll make a stop at the Met’s rooftop. How much fun.
My favorite spot in the city! Would love to see that installation!
