This is the outside of the Temple of Dendur (the glass wall on the right) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ive never been able to see it in person because there's always something going on in there that closes it off to the public. Ive been wanting to see it for years after I studied it in an art class in college. We were studying a book about the curator who was there when they aquired the temple and the struggle between this museum and the Smithsonian to get it. It was very interesting. That's my good pal Sue walking ahead there. Atleast I got to see it from the outside this go around.
