St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine is a church and shrine at the World Trade Center. This beautiful new church replaced the original church of the same name that was destroyed during the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. It was the only house of worship that was destroyed.
The new St. Nicholas Church was designed by the world-renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Its architecture draws from Byzantine influences, including the Church of the Savoir and the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul as well as the Parthenon in Athens.
In addition to serving as a Greek Orthodox parish, St. Nicholas acts as a “House of Prayer for all people” and functions as a national shrine and community center.

To continue our “Met Gallery of the Month” winter series, let’s explore The American Wing (Gallery 700, Floor 1), where we will sketch sculptures, paintings, building facades, furniture, armor, pottery, or the museum itself…
…and because it’s Valentine’s Day, for those who want to join in a bit of cheeky fun, we’re adding a special one-hour art game at the end of the sketch day. At 1:30pm on the dot, those who want to participate will meet in the Petrie European Sculpture Court (Gallery 548, Floor 1), where Shawne Cooper will lead a Valentine’s-themed take on the Exquisite Corpse drawing game. Instead of settling into one spot, we’ll move together through nearby galleries, drawing from life as we go. You won’t be working alone, and you won’t see the final results until the very end, at Show & Tell. It’s playful, collaborative, a little bit bawdy, and a whole lot of fun. Details will be shared when we gather. All levels welcome. Curiosity required. And yes, everyone who participates gets to take home one collaborative sketch: our Valentine’s Day gift to you.
TIME: Sketching 10:30am - 3pm | Show and Tell beginning at 3pm.
LOCATION: The Met, 1000 Fifth Avenue (@ 82nd St), Manhattan, NYC- Gallery 700, Floor 1
MEETING LOCATION: Meet at 10:30 in The American Wing (Gallery 700). If you are new, look for people with sketchbooks and say hello, we are a friendly bunch.
SHOW AND TELL LOCATION: Carson Family Hall on the Ground Floor directly below the Greek and Roman Galleries. Check with the host day-of for the exact show-and-tell location.
