Are You Up for a Challenge?

During the summer of 2008, New York Times photographer, Librado Romero created the “Hidden in Plain Sight” challenge for readers. Using the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as the foundation, Mr. Romero photographed small elements of paintings on exhibit. The challenge was to examine the snippet, go to the indicated hall/room, and find the painting from which it was snipped.
