One of the world's largest museums, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is showcasing a new event that encourages the creative participation of visitors: the <MetMoment Photo Challenge>. This challenge proudly transforms the museum from a simple viewing space into a stage where art and visitors interact, offering a whole new layer to the museum experience.

The <MetMoment Photo Challenge> is an event where visitors capture creative shots within the exhibition galleries and share them on social media using the hashtag #MetMoment. The photo that garnered the most attention globally and was even picked by the museum's official Instagram was the one staged as an 'Ancient Greek Icon.' The secret to this viral photo lies in Gallery 166 of the Met Fifth Avenue main building. By skillfully using the angle and lighting behind the display glass of the Gold Wreath exhibited here, the wreath appears naturally placed on the head, creating the fantastic illusion of instantly transforming into an ancient hero. This unique photo spot is a major highlight that the museum proudly features.
If you plan to visit The Met, we encourage you to try this clever and fun photo challenge. You can proudly make special memories and experience the thrill of being noticed by people all over the world by reinterpreting an art piece in your own way.
Gold Wreath Photo Spot Location: Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028, USA) / On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 166
