Introduction Metropolitan Museum is one of the biggest museums in the United States that has numerous historical objects, paintings, and sculptures from various parts of the world. Some of the major cultures demonstrated by the objects found in the museum include African, European, Egyptian, and Asian. The objects in the museum vary in terms of age and usage with some objects and paintings dating back several years BC, while others can be traced to recent ages. As a result, the museum plays an important role in conserving the cultures of societies and educating the young generations. Education of young generations usually concerns the past cultures and their significance in the lives of individuals, who lived during the time. Therefore, the essay examines historical objects, sculptures, and paintings like a soup plate, guardian figure, sugar pot, cosmetic jar, and Sphinx of Hatshepsut found in the metropolitan museum. Soup Plate A plate is an object that displays some ancient cultures of the Europeans, who lived in present England and the United States.
