The Great Hall of The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Last week, I was in NYC for two days to take floral design classes. I had some free time, so I decided to visit The Met for the first time. The Met is overwhelmingly huge. You can easily spend days there. But one of the primary reasons that flower fanatics go is to see the five floral arrangements of beautiful seasonal blooms in the museum's lobby (Great Hall). They are pretty spectacular (10 feet tall!). An endowment from late Reader's Digest co-founder Lila Acheson Wallace pays for fresh flowers each week…forever. World-renowned floral designer, Remco Van Vliet of Van Vliet and Trap, is on contract for flowers. See this video narrated by Martha Stewart about Remco and his process of refreshing flowers every week.
