It is a huge, popular museum on Fifth Avenue. it's next to Central Park. Many steps lead up to the main entrance. Banners hang outside the museum. One says."Heroic Africa." Another says."The 9/11 Peace Story Quilt." Another says."Master Painters of India." A sign near the entrance says."Open Late Tonight." George asked."What's the name of this museum? I don't see a sign anywhere. I see the banners. I see the names of the exhibits. I see the Open Late sign. I see everything but the name of the museum." His wife said."don't be so picky. Everyone knows it's the Met. I'm sure there?s a sign somewhere." They walked up the steps. On either side of the entrance doors was a small plaque. Each plaque said."The Metropolitan Museum of Art." His wife said."See? Here are your signs!" George said."These aren't signs. They're footnotes!"
