That was the one piece, looking at the map days later, that I wish I could go back and see. It IS too much to take in, isn’t it!? It kind of makes me think – is it really a good idea for so much of the world’s greatest art to be housed in one place? Not only as a liability issue, but because with so much of it there it really IS too much to take in.

Looking down at the map as I ran, I nearly ran into a giant sculpture placed in the center of the hall. I screeched to a halt and looked up face to face with one of Michelangelo’s escaping slaves.
It was almost too much to take in.
