After being closed for over five months due to the coronavirus pandemic, the MET reopened to the general public Saturday, August 29. As a line began to trail down the museum’s iconic steps, there was a palpable significance to the historical moment that appeared evident on the faces of everyone gathered there. Upon entering the room, camera men, reporters and videographers flew about interviewing and capturing the moment, but past security, the museum’s contents remain unchanged and they seemed more important and appreciated than ever.
