For Met Security Officer Armia Malak Khalil, it started as just another day—until a chance encounter and a friendly conversation led to something unexpected. Now, his art is featured in "Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876–Now." As Armia puts it, “Magic happened here.” See #MetFlightIntoEgypt now through February 17.

"It reminds me how small I am, but also how miraculous this life is." — Death doula Alua Arthur on encountering Caspar David Friedrich’s "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog." OPENING SOON—"Caspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature" is the first comprehensive U.S. exhibition dedicated to the artist. Friedrich reimagined European landscape painting, capturing nature as a space for deep spiritual and emotional experiences. A leading figure of German Romanticism, he emphasized our connection to the natural world. His landscapes are meditative, mysterious, and full of wonder. Organized with the Alte Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, and Hamburger Kunsthalle, the exhibition features 75 works by Friedrich, with unprecedented loans from over 30 lenders in Europe and North America. Experience #MetCasparDavidFriedrich at The Met from February 8 to May 11. 🎨 Caspar David Friedrich (German, 1774-1840). Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, ca. 1817. Oil on canvas. Hamburger Kunsthalle, on permanent loan from the Stiftung Hamburger Kunstsammlungen.
