Hey blueberry,<br><br>Do you know if there any way you can access this (or something similar) via a laptop?

Sorry, it doesn't look like it. I don't have a smartphone so I can't use it either. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Many years ago I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan with a friend that was studying art. &nbsp;I'm not that much into art, but it was fun looking at art worth worth hundreds of millions of dollars each by Van Gohn, Rembrant and others. &nbsp;there are different areas in the museum. &nbsp;The best part was that it was free. &nbsp;They have areas set up to pay, but otherwise you can just walk in and they have a &nbsp;donation box if you wish to give something. &nbsp;I hope it's still the same. &nbsp;Awesome place.&nbsp;
