We often say that the NYSE is one of the four iconic American buildings, along with the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Supreme Court. You could add the Metropolitan Museum of Art to that list.

She now shares what really happens when the visitors leave and the art comes alive in her new book, Metropolitan Stories.                                                       Inside the ICE House: https://www.theice.com/insights/conversations/inside-the-ice-house
