When I mentioned last week<\/a> that I’d been admiring the Egyptian jewelry in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I held back on what brought me to the museum.\u00a0 This was not your ordinary cultural outing, but the fantastic wedding reception of Ben Cotton and Abigail Fisch<\/a>, which was held in the museum’s Temple of Dendur<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love being in a museum after hours. As a kid, I read and reread From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler<\/em> by E. L. Konigsburg<\/a>, in which two runaways hide themselves in the Metropolitan Museum. I wished I could have a similar adventure among the dinosaurs in the American Museum of Natural History<\/a>, so decades later, when the first Night at the Museum<\/em> movie came out, I was pretty much its biggest fan. I still laugh out loud just thinking of Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt saying, “Good lord, Lawrence! Why are you slapping a monkey?”<\/p>\n
