Travis Gumbs: Many of us New Yorkers tend to take much for granted. Growing up, the museum was often reseversed for class trips and that once in a bluemoon family outing. It was actually always a fascinating experience but somehow felt only right for a special occasion. Recently, I’ve been taking great advantage of The MET and needless to say, it definetly deserves a post of its own.
On a peaceful afternoon Myself, Josh, Joekenneth and Andre headed for a stroll through the MET. If you’ve been there before you know that it is almost impossible to attentively walk every exhibit in one day. This place is huge, with every type of art you can imagine. Its like you step into a real life, materialized Tumblr.
The Egyptian art Exhibit is one of favorites. It also happens to be the first exhibit so we decided to take some quick photos and then quietly enjoyed a number of other exhibits. What I love most about Ancient Egyptian art is the precision, mystery and colors that make up the art. It certainly hard to believe that some pieces date back to 300,000 BC.
Listening to [Melo-X- Dirty Dishes]
Heres a nice instrumental number from Melo-X. A friend of ours and overall talented being. His new instrumental mixtape, FEWTURE went available for download last-night. I love the soothing yet captivating feeling this song gives. Its funny, I had another song in mind for this post but as I was writingI kept replaying this track over and over until this song and this post became synonymous in my head. Love it!

Ah yes the Met. I actually prefer the MoMA but the Met has some truly amazing exhibits. Very historic which is perhaps why I don’t appreciate it as much.

Andre’s photography is forever on point
and of course the attire as well
I enjoyed this post and you’re so right Travis, New Yorkers do take things for granted
I have lived in NYC all my life and never been to the Met I guess due to the some of the
reasons you stated. But I’m determined to make my way there and become a regular visitee
I know theres loads of inspiration there.

Very handsome guys. I haven’t been to the museum in ages. I really don’t take advantage of living in NYC. That’s gotta change. Thanks for sharing.

hey Josh, I love the Leopard Print Doc Martens. I really like how you paired it up with the red trousers. Red and leopard print is a deadly combo. I’ve been feeling the print myself, definitely inspired

The museum is def an overlooked place for many New Yorkers. I love the Brooklyn Museum, I always go to see their Egyptian installment and I never get bored. Beautiful photographs, I love the animal print shoes and rings.
Peace,
Amber.

Can you buy Ale et Ange online? I’ve seen pics of their hats and I’m super impressed. I may have to make a trip to the shop… I’ll be in NYC next month.
Anyway, great post. Looking sharp!

yay 4 visiting museums!

The outfits are on point and very suitable for a museum like the Met. I’ve never been to the Met, I’ve only visited MoMa and local NJ museums but the Met is a museum I would like to visit in the near future because of the historical art. Keep striving for success and happiness, y’all.

Hey, I love the entire outfits, but the shoes REALLY stand out!

The mirroring between Joshua’s face, the Egyptian mask, and the ring Joshua is wearing…sick. And what up to the calf hair Dr.’s.

Really enjoyed this post. The Melo track helped with the aesthetic. Much love and respect.

Love love love those leopard shoes! And also the MET, their collection of costumes and womens’ dresses are breathtaking. They also happen to have a certain Dior dress that I would die to wear just once, and would love to actually see in person!

Once again spelling mistakes in a Street Etiquette blog post. Come on guys why don’t you just read it through before you post? Basics surely?

When people start referring to the Met museum as a ‘real life, materialized Tumblr’, you know something is gravely wrong with contemporary society… unless you were being delightfully ironic, in which case, kudos!
I do, however, enjoy the ideas and the photography.

I absolutely love your site. I’d like to see what you all would do out West. I’m sure you could come up with some new ways to do “Vegas”. Due to our having completely different ecosystems, your style would fry us here even in winter. Cmon out to Vegas so I can see how you do it in the city that never sleeps!
