Museum Mile 2008 Part 1 - New York City

This is a yearly event in Manhattan where 5th Avenue was blocked off starting from 82nd street to 105th street. All the museum along that strip were open to the public for free from 6-9 pm.

Last year, I made the mistake of wasting my time in line to get in the Guggenheim. This time, I decided to walk around and watch all that is happening on the street. I was able to breeze through the MET but disappointed that only certain parts of the museum were open to the public. I wasn't able to take photos of the medieval area but was able to get photos of the special exhibition. That would be on a different posting.
