Bargains at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Today I was in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art working hard to find Aristotelian examples of friendship in different types of art.  As I was perusing through the Greek Art section, I noticed a small alcove that had a sign reading "Samples & Seconds Sale".  Almost everything was $1 or $2.  EVERYTHING.  Children's books and toys, books, posters, stationary, umbrellas, clothing, and home decor.  There are some incredible values at the Met if you have the chance to get down there.

If you don't live near the Met, you can take advantage of their clearance sale either at the mall (Short Hills Mall in New Jersey has a Met store) or online.  The clearance sale doesn't have anything for $1 (except postcards), but there are some great bargains on wonderful books and art memorabilia.

I also want to encourage you to go to the museum if you can to see the Afghanistan exhibit and the Models as Muse exhibit.  They were both quite amazing!
