Fran Lebowitz: Pretend It’s a Museum

Fran Lebowitz goes behind-the-scenes to The Met’s Paintings Conservation Lab to see Rembrandt’s Aristotle with a Bust of Homer (1653). Along the way, she tells her favorite story of visiting The Museum and contemplates the impossibility of choosing a favorite object in The Met’s collection.

You can view Rembrandt’s Aristotle with a Bust of Homer (1653) in our European Paintings Galleries.
