A visitor is gazing at Aristotle at the Met.
Despite the crowds populating the museum every hour, every day, it is possible to find quiet spots for some time alone with favorites. For some reason, Rembrandt and Caravaggio at the Met are usually seen through many eyes, while Van Gogh and Picasso at MOMA are mostly seen through camera lenses. There, a security guard has to be placed next to Starry Night to keep visitors from leaning on the painting while they have their picture taken.
