    I've been to the Met in NYC. One day is not enough to take it all in.
    Best things to see at the Metropolitan Museum of art

    Yes it is. It has different sections of different types of artists. I've also been to the Guggenheim in NYC. Their displays change a lot so it pays to visit there in different years.

    I don't know if any of his work is in either of those NYC museums. Google tells me that The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston TX has the largest collection of Escher prints. This is one from my book:

    And other interesting puzzle-like illusion pictures I found from that M.C. Escher book are:

    The Front Cover


    The Flying Fishes


    Geometric congested reptile/monster interior walking circle ?

    &

    Interesting multi-stairway world of multi-direction walking ?

    And the reptile walking cycle, I saw it would be the same picture in this book too!

    And see the picture of 'Drawing Hands"-

    Yes, Danny. Most of those are in my book of prints. I didn't buy this book, it was my mother's. When she passed, I was the only one that wanted the book.

    I have a number of other what are called "coffee table books". They're usually larger than average dimension books with any sort of interesting information and/or pictures. The other books I inherited from my mom are a book of Norman Rockwell prints and a giant atlas.

    I really wanted the atlas and was so happy that none of my siblings wanted it. I've loved maps since I was a kid. The funny thing about that big, heavy atlas is, I never look at it because I can look up any map on line.

    Now I may guess from your pictured Avatar & by your (last) message I read here-maybe for me to take a good guess(of You)?

    No, "Mom" is the highest level I've achieved. I have two grown children in their 50s but NO grandchildren. That may be why I have time to spend on Answermug!

    Are you a student or do you just enjoy exploring everything?

    I used to be a student, might be long time ago, & now I graduated as I'm no longer a student.
    Then I was giving out some other work pages on Answermug recently(You'll see some work pages that I put in that thread if that be the worksheet thread.
    And I do like to explore some things in Answermug too!
