The Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection contains more than two million works of art from around the world. It opened its doors on February 20, 1872, housed in a building located at 681 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Under their guidance of John Taylor Johnston and George Palmer Putnam, the Met's holdings, initially consisting of a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings, quickly outgrew the available space. In 1873, occasioned by the Met's purchase of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot antiquities, the museum decamped from Fifth Avenue and took up residence at the Douglas Mansion on West 14th Street. However, these new accommodations were temporary; after negotiations with the city of New York, the Met acquired land on the east side of Central Park, where it built its permanent home, a red-brick Gothic Revival stone "mausoleum" designed by American architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold. As of 2006, the Met measures almost a quarter mile long and occupies more than two million square feet, more than 20 times the size of the original 1880 building.

In 2007, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was ranked #17 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967. The interior was designated in 1977.

Il Gruppo del Catinaccio, in tedesco Rosengarten e in ladino Ciadenac, è un massiccio delle Dolomiti situato tra la Valle di Tires, la Val d'Ega e la Val di Fassa nel Parco naturale dello Sciliar.
Domina, anche se distante una ventina di km, l'orizzonte orientale di Bolzano. Caratteristica del gruppo è la colorazione rosata che assume al tramonto, fenomeno visivo chiamato enrosadira.

The Rosengarten (Italian: Catinaccio; German: Rosengarten) is a massif in the Dolomites of northern Italy. It is located between the Tiers, Eggental and Fassa Valleys, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol.
One peculiarity of the Rosengarten is the pink shade which, due to the presence of dolomite mineral, it takes in the sunset, celebrated in the Südtirollied as "glowing". Meaning "Rose garden" in German, the name refers to the legend of King Laurin and his Rose Garden, a traditional story explaining the outer appearance of the mountain range.

And just an hour after I took a photo of my work area, Speed comes home with a huge box. This is my new desk and birthday present. I had been coveting this desk ever since West Elm released it. What an amazing guy I have. First you give me my dream loft Speed then you find out how to sneak in all the design pieces I could ever want. You make every birthday special for me unlike no other.
