  The Mysterious Affair at the Met

  A  favorite destination—even for New Yorkers—is the venerable Metropolitan  Museum of Art. On this particular day, “the Met,” as generally known, experiences an unusually large number of visitors. Visitors have their choice of viewing over two million works of art spanning five millennia of cultures worldwide. But some among them are up to something more sinister.
   
  At one point, the  Met’s surveillance cameras’ lenses capture “a mysterious-looking couple” amid the many visitors strolling about the many galleries. The pair is dripping wet in their matching taupe Burberry trench coats. Just  as the two of them walk past Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   a masterpiece of Marc Chagall, a large tourist group—who, oddly enough,  all are wearing distinctive red-and-white-striped vinyl raincoats—converges around them. But it is what happens next that baffles the museum’s surveillance crew. After “the mysterious-looking couple” pulls off their prank, they and the large tourist group walk out  of that particular camera’s range, becoming submerged elsewhere in the interminable galleries of the gigantic museum.
   
  But when a docent notices “something strange” with Chagall’s Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   in short order, the museum-goers inside the Chagall gallery hear “High Alert!” and watch in horror as a heavy metal grille drops down from the ceiling to the floor, effectively locking them inside the gallery.
   
  And thus began what later came to be called The Mysterious Affair at the Met.

  Originally published in 1872, "The Possessed" (also known as "The Devils" or "Demons") is a political novel by the renowned Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The story focuses on a group of revolutionaries plotting an uprising in a provincial Russian town, exploring their motives, philosophies, and interpersonal dynamics. It delves deep into the psychology of its characters, offering a scathing critique of radical ideologies and the intellectuals who espoused them during Dostoyevsky's time. As with much of his work, the narrative is a profound exploration of good and evil, freedom and enslavement, and the nature of power.
