  14. My top 10: Ariella Budick on #NewYork’s Metropolitan Museum of Art

    The #Met is the world’s greatest museum — prove me wrong! — and each visit makes the place seem vaster, deeper and more bounteous.

    Picking 10 of its 1.5 million pieces is like choosing your favourite ripples in the ocean. The museum may seem immutable in its loyalty to the past, but it is always tinkering, eking more gallery space out of its footprint, balancing history with the need to serve ever-refreshing crowds.
