Comparative Religions at the Met: Modern


mikromet

Mikro's comparative religions class had another wander trough the Metropolitan Museum of art, this time looking at modern art, and discussing how seemingly unrelated subject matter can be numinous or otherwise fit the definition of religious art.

Some of the artwork they discussed:

After class, Mikro and I took in the view from the Met's roof garden:

And we took some photos of Viking artifacts to show Dad.

Mikro made a little art of his own. His current obsession is map making:
