The Palace of Ashurnasirpal II at the Met

Palace of Ashurnasirpal II, Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Palace of Ashurnasirpal II, constructed in the 9th century BCE, sat alongside the Tigris, but now its throne room can be found at the Met. Though the color has long since faded from its walls, the iconography remains, communications carved for posterity into the stone, an Ozymandias transported.

The Met, followed by lunch in the park... Easily my most favorite thing to do in the world.

Agree! Plus the museum is always so cool, a fact worth taking into account when it's in the 90s outside.
