Afisha Life | Muzeum Met i Central Park Wycieczka łączona bez kolejki

1

Miejskie Muzeum Sztuki

Zacznij od Met, gdzie Twój przewodnik pokaże Ci kolekcję, która rywalizuje z tymi z Luwru i British Museum. Dysponując nie mniej niż 2 milionami dzieł sztuki i artefaktów, Met prezentuje przedmioty ze starożytnej Grecji i Egiptu, a także sztukę współczesną z Europy i spoza niej. Podczas tej wycieczki zaczniesz od okazałej Wielkiej Sali, zanim przejdziesz do najważniejszych galerii muzeum. W Galerii Medieval Europe dowiesz się o Studiolo z Pałacu Książęcego oraz o zbrojowni noszonej przez Henryka VIII. W amerykańskim skrzydle znajdują się schody z Chicago Stock Exchange, a także kultowy portret Waszyngtona przekraczającego rzekę Delaware. Dowiedz się o burzliwym i inspirującym życiu kilku europejskich malarzy, w tym Vermeera, Seurata i Van Gogha w europejskich skrzydłach. Samo muzeum ma do opowiedzenia historie, a Twój przewodnik wyjaśni, czym ta amerykańska galeria różni się od swoich starszych europejskich odpowiedników, zwłaszcza że powstała, zanim Stany Zjednoczone miały nawet 100 lat!

Park Centralny

Po przerwie na lunch Central Park. Zaprojektowany, aby dać nowojorczykom powiew świeżego powietrza. To nie tylko tereny zielone, ale także miejsca pamięci i dzieła sztuki ku czci takich postaci jak Bolivar i Marti, a także Balto i Hans Christen Andersen. Gdy Twój entuzjastyczny młody przewodnik opowie historię parku, przejdziesz przez słynny most Gapstow w drodze do zoo w Central Parku. Podążysz za wysadzanym drzewami centrum handlowym i omówisz postacie literackie upamiętnione w posągach po obu stronach. Odkryjesz taras i fontannę Bethesda, widok niezliczonych hollywoodzkich chwil. Przejdź przez Bow Bridge w drodze do Strawberry Fields w kierunku Dakoty, aby dowiedzieć się o zabójstwie Johna Lennona pod jego pomnikiem. Odkryjesz olśniewającą restaurację Tavern on the Green, zanim dołączysz do mieszkańców Sheep Meadow, gdzie nowojorczycy z różnych środowisk mogą na chwilę oderwać się od miejskiego życia.

432 Park Avenue

Po spotkaniu ze swoim przewodnikiem przy pomnikach jeździeckich historii Ameryki Łacińskiej na rogu 6 Ave i 59 St, wejdziesz do parku. Jedną z pierwszych rzeczy, które zobaczysz, jest ocalała fontanna do picia dla koni ASPCA, zlokalizowana w 1912 roku. Chociaż jesteśmy dobrze zaznajomieni ze światem samochodów, jest to jedyne miejsce w mieście, gdzie można przyprowadzić konia do picia wody, jeśli tak się stanie mieć jeden. Następnie udasz się na zachód, aby uzyskać wspaniały widok na nowe SuperScrapers. 432 Park Avenue to wieżowiec mieszkalny z widokiem na Central Park. Drapacz chmur jest drugim co do wysokości budynkiem w Nowym Jorku po One World Trade Center, co czyni go doskonałą lokalizacją do zamieszkania.

4

Centrum Time Warnera

Następnie zobaczysz Time Warner Center, kompleks budynków o mieszanym przeznaczeniu, który składa się z dwóch bliźniaczych wież połączonych wielopiętrowym atrium. W kompleksie znajdują się ekskluzywne sklepy detaliczne, a także kilka mieszkań biurowych i mieszkalnych. Kolejny imponujący wieżowiec do sfotografowania!

5

Most Łukowy

Następnie odwiedzisz Bow Bridge, największy most w parku. Jest to żeliwny most, ozdobiony klasycznym greckim wyrafinowaniem w XIX wieku. Podczas gdy inne mosty w parku są niepozorne, Bow Bridge ma wyróżniać się z otoczenia, ozdobiony zazębiającymi się kręgami poręczy i skomplikowanymi elementami pod przęsłem łuku.

6

Most Gapstowa

Kolejnym mostem, na który natkniesz się podczas wycieczki, jest piękny łupkowy most Gapstow, który został zbudowany w 1874 roku. Z mostu roztacza się jeden z najlepszych widoków na panoramę Nowego Jorku i będziesz mógł zrobić kilka świetnych ujęć miasta.

7

Staw Żółwi

Następnie udasz się do Great Lawn, obszaru o powierzchni 55 akrów, który jest uważany za jeden z najsłynniejszych trawników na świecie. The Lawn to świetne miejsce na piknik w wiosenne popołudnie lub złapanie promieni w lecie. W pobliżu zobaczysz Turtle Pond, w którym żyje większość żółwi parku.

8

Dakota

Następnie zobaczysz Dakotę, być może najsłynniejszy budynek spółdzielczy w mieście. Zbudowany w 1884 roku, nadal zachowuje wiele ze swojego pierwotnego charakteru. Był to dom Johna Lennona, byłego członka Beatlesów od 1973 roku aż do jego morderstwa w sklepieniu budynku w 1980 roku.

9

Truskawkowe Pola, Memoriał Johna Lennona

Następnie odwiedzisz Strawberry Fields, obszar o powierzchni 2,5 akra w Central Parku, który jest hołdem dla zmarłego Beatlesa, Johna Lennona. Wyznaczony cichy obszar w parku, Strawberry Files, jest otoczony wiązami, krzewami, kwiatami i skałami, co czyni go spokojnym, malowniczym miejscem.

10

Fontanna Bethesda

Podczas spaceru natkniesz się na tak zwanego Anioła Bethesdy na szczycie Fontanny Bethesda. Położony w centrum Bethesda Terrace anioł stał się pierwszym dużym dziełem sztuki publicznej Nowego Jorku zamówionym przez kobietę.

11

Zoo w Central Parku

Na koniec zakończymy naszą wycieczkę w zoo w Central Parku, w południowo-wschodnim rogu Central Parku w Nowym Jorku. Tutaj możesz albo zostać i podziwiać wspaniałe krajobrazy parku, albo przewodnik odprowadzi Cię do najbliższej stacji metra.
