Early in the morning, on the verge of opening up, art museums around the world await visitors. In the galleries, in hallways lined with portraits, paintings sculpture and statues, unobtrusive, uniformed security guards take their positions.
Standing for hours at a time, guards develop an intimate relationship with the museum’s artists and their work. In silent reflection, with the time to consider techniques, skill and the feelings they invoke, the guards develop favorites among the paintings and objects that might not be the museum’s most well-known or splashiest pieces.
We asked five guards at five of the world’s most renowned museums to share their favorite pieces, and why. They find them deeply meaningful, and you might too.
I’ve worked at the Met for 29 years; I’ve never even applied for any other job. So I’ve been looking at the African sculpture “Seated Figure” for many, many years. He’s from the 13th century, he’s very powerful and poetic, and on his back he has these markings; it looks like he’s been through affliction. He sort of speaks to me, saying, “What I have endured, I have survived; the pain is behind me and now it decorates me.” He’s so ancient and he survived, even just being here in the museum.

Picking a seat on a plane can often feel like a Goldilocks dilemma to me. That aisle seat that's way up front, so I can get off quickly and not miss my connection, but will likely mean my shoulder gets knocked against each time someone passes by.

From the minute I book a flight until the final seconds before boarding, I find myself pulling up the airplane seat map to reassess my options for finding a seat that is “just right.”
