In Reality

The scene was filmed at the southern tip of Manhattan, known as the Battery since the 17th century when cannons were placed here to defend Manhattan from sea attacks. The remaining western battery, known as Castle Clinton and built shortly before the War of 1812, was originally erected on a small island off the coast, but over time the land expanded and surrounded the fort by 1855. The modern park now covers 25 acres and includes a small park, a restaurant, a carousel, and a World War II memorial.

The scene was filmed at the Metropolitan Museum, originally built in 1872 in the High Victorian Gothic style designed by architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould. The design of the original building was considered an eyesore, so by 1902 a new Beaux-Arts facade was built, along with a number of other improvements. In the following decade, two more wings were built along Fifth Avenue, and over the next century the museum expanded in a jumble of different styles, now covering an area 20 times larger than the original building—over two million square feet. The Met is the largest art museum in the United States, with a permanent collection of over two million works. Part of the collection is housed at The Cloisters, a small museum dedicated to medieval art and architecture in Fort Tryon Park.
