| Description: | Painting Draws Record Crowd The Metropolitan Museum of art in New York City plays host to a record-breaking crowd of 82,000 as their latest acquisition, a Rembrandt, goes on exhibition. Bought for a record $2,300,000, it is the latest 'must see' attraction in New York. Exterior of Museum. CU door and hours posted. Men and women walk up steps. (Looks like it could be used for church steps, parishioners going into church.) Rembrandt painting in room, with crowd of people roped off. Two security guards stand on either side of the work of art. Overview of crowd. | |
