Just visited Metropolitan Museum of Art the other day. One exhibition room had a bunch of big black "bowls" made quite a few hundred years ago (oversimplified, I know nothing about those clay stuffs). First impression, "Gee, so many containers were preserved over so many centuries in this superb condition??" Closer look revealed, "Oh, it's broken, now a few pieces glued back together".

So, those containers are not pure original. But I think their work preserved history better in this case..... it's better to see the whole "bowl" so I can appreciate the drawing on it, than looking at a pile of clay chips. Same is true for some of their armor collection.

A lot of visitors to NYC don't realize just how extensive the Arms and Armor collection is at the MMA.

It's a great place to go with your wife..., "Hey honey, you go look at the paintings of fruit bowls, I'm going to check out some genuine presentation medieval armor, swords, firearms, and some of the most artistic military equipment ever produced. See you in two hours at the gift shop."
