This will be my second attempt for blogging. Hopefully I am going to stick to this one and I think blog posts will be a great way share memories, experiences and overall my personal ratings about the places I have been. Probably there will not be scale to measure it by I'll see what I can do 

It takes so much time to think, write and edit every single post. I think once I'll get use to it, I'll post more.

There is over 5,000 items in the museum. Museum's most of the art pieces from the time era of European medieval architectural, Gothic and Romanesque period.
After leaving all the boring details behind, it can be considered medium size museum. It may take up to 3-4 hours to walk through and observe it's galleries. 

NYC visitors with interest of the Medieval era can visit it. Also it can be perfect choice for rainy or cold days

This time I'm going to separate travel and all other in different pages. While I will write about my travel experiences here, my views and thoughts about political, social and economical issues, will be under "Notes". At the end don't expect nothing major  like academical studies or professional articles. It will be thoughts of average person.
