For me a museum is where you truly see a work: in person, in its physical presence. It is an experience you simply have to have, and scrolling on a screen cannot replace it. So I look, I absorb and I capture, so that I can go on studying the works long after I have left the galleries. I don't take these pictures to post once and move on. I come back to them. I read about the works, I look for what the label did not say, and some of them lead me into weeks of research.<\/p>\n<p>This map gathers a few of the museums I have visited, with some of the pieces I saw there. I have thousands of photographs, so this is a small selection, not a catalogue: one or two works for each museum, and links to the essays where I went deeper.<\/p>\n<p>Many of them come from one building. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\">The Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a> is my home museum, and its Greek and Roman galleries are where my <a href=\"\/art-history-timeline\">art history timeline<\/a> began, with works like the <a href=\"\/diadumenus-he-who-attaches-a-band-around-his-forehead\">Diadoumenos<\/a>. Others I found farther away: a girl playing knucklebones in Berlin, a round painting by Raffaellino del Garbo in the Gem&#228;ldegalerie, an icon of the Royal Martyrs in an Orthodox church in Strasbourg. And the Egyptian Museum in Cairo is where, as a child, it all started; I wrote about that visit in <a href=\"\/childhood-museum-experience-egyptian-museum\">How an Early Childhood Museum Experience Shaped My Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The open pins are museums I recommend for the same periods, even where I have not photographed yet. I will add to the map as I travel, and some stops may one day have short films of the rooms.<\/p>\n<p>If you know a museum that belongs here, or a work I should see on my next visit, <a href=\"#\" id=\"mm-mail\" data-u=\"hello\" data-d=\"eleonora.nyc\">tell me<\/a>.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"mm-credit\">The photographs are my own except where credited beside the picture.<\/p>\r\n  <\/section>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"ItemList\",\"name\":\"Museums behind the timeline\",\"description\":\"The art history museums where the works on my art history timeline were photographed, and where I would send you for the same periods.
