Wonderful! My brother worked at The Met for two decades and when I lived in NY would visit regularly. An amazing place, reading your essay now!

Two decades! What department was he in? What a lucky brother, and lucky you for being able to visit regularly!!

Thank you for taking the time to read it. ❤️

He was a guard! He is a painter (Pratt grad) and along with the other guard/painters was part of the Met Guard shows. I used to meet him on post and then go for tea in the cafeteria. Good days!

I looove that!

I was a museum guard for a year while in college—although not at a museum as massive and glamorous as The Met. It’s a super interesting job, full of crazy moments. People love to lick and/or kiss art when they think nobody is watching. I bet your brother had great stories too!
