Summer 2015

Hi there! My name is Brielle, and I am currently a senior at Millennium High School. I love learning, trying new things, and being creative! I definitely did these things over this past summer in NYC.

1. Metropolitan Museum of Art - High School Internship




This summer, I interned at the Met Museum. In addition to my work in the Education and Concerts and Lectures Departments, I was able to explore the beautiful and amazing art galleries and spaces that the Met has to offer. The photo on the left was taken on the staff roof. My friends/fellow HS Interns spent many lunch breaks on the roof taking in the beauty of NYC. The photo on the right is of one of my favorite rooms in the Met. I loved the outdoor-sy feel to it, as well as the ancient sculpture piece in the center. At the Met, I learned so much about art and connected with great people who loved art history! Thus, a major highlight of my summer!







2. Fun in the West Village












I have to say, my internship at the Met inspired me to explore art all around NYC. A few times, my friends from the Met and I traveled to other museums and galleries in the city. For example, and as pictured above, we went to the Whitney Museum. The Whitney is filled with amazing modern art that other museums will just not have! After the Whitney, my friends and I wandered around Chelsea, eventually finding our way to Chelsea Market for some food, pictured in the photo on the right. None of us were downtown that often, so we decided to hang there and eat some expensive food!
