I've been twice. This'll be the second time I'll be seeing an exhibit that stopped at the Met first. Last time was Egyptian Art in the Age of the Pyramids, notable for its life-size statue of the Fat Man of Egypt. (His name was Hemiunu; he was a prince and an architect, and he was sculpted as a seated fat guy, complete with fat-guy chest.) The ROM's the only place I know of that includes a full set of hockey pads in the Hall of Arms and Armor, 'cos dammit, that's armor too...
I gotta bring a better camera this time, though. For the scenery and for the ROM, esp. 'cos you just don't get collections of Korean art like the ROM has anywhere else on this continent.
