“Raphael: Sublime Poetry” (The Metropolitan Museum of Art)” - Exhibition Highlights Tour

What’s up YouTube! Welcome back to the Museum Reviews channel! Today, we have a special episode from my recent trip to NYC and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While there, I had the privilege to see the amazing featured exhibition: “Raphael Sublime Poetry.” The exhibition features 237 total objects, and 175 works by Raphael. More specifically, the exhibition includes 142 drawings by Raphael, and 33 paintings. Also included are a series of works by artists in relation to Raphael including Perugino, da Vinci, and many others! This video is a comprehensive “tour” of the exhibition and includes video and photos that I took while I was there. I tried to be extremely thorough in formatting the video as I know many of my viewers are from the SoCal region. I wanted to be able to display the exhibition just how it is for you all to see!
