The Metropolitan Museum of Art

One of my favorite experiences of the trip. So SO cool being able to see all the history in here. With so many famous artists' greatest works it is truly a magical experience being able to walk around here. There is so much to do that you literally..

It is well worth the price, the building is beautiful, the staff is awesome, it was a great experience!

This is one of the best museums in the world. Very huge museum, so I recommend you to visit at least 3 days to enjoy(see) all sections. If you are interested in art, you have to take 1 week for enjoying this museum. My favorite is Egyptian area. A bi.. Read more »g structure which is made of stone welcomes you.

I’ve been visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art literally for most of my life.. My great grandmother was a founder and served on the original board of this beautiful museum.. There is so much history here and I have nothing but good things to say a.. Read more »bout the Met.. They have a donation (pay what you can) policy for NY residents so it’s a wonderful activity for locals when traveling into the city with a family.. The building is simply breathtaking, it’s history and architecture are totally captivating in and of themselves.. Their permanent collection is just full of amazing pieces of art.. My children loved the roof garden and the Last Knight exhibit.. We spent an entire day at the museum and never got bored or ran out of cool things to take in.. In fact we were rushing around trying to fit everything in.. Honestly we could spend an entire week exploring the many collections and exhibits, in fact we’ve already planned our return trip!! The staff is generally helpful and friendly, ready to answer your questions and guide you along.. There are Cafe and luncheonette options if you’re hungry.. The bathrooms are super clean and well maintained.. This museum is truly one of gems in this town and well worth the visit.. If you’re coming to the city from out of town, the Met is an absolute must see, and definitely one of NYC’s most important landmarks.. And if you’re a New Yorker looking for something fun to do in the city the Met is the perfect location for an enriching cultural experience!!

A lot of respect to NYC for having one of the most amazing museums in the word. Spent almost all day here and had the best time. One thing that they need to make clearer is that the entrance cost is donation based. I felt they kind of not said it out.. Read more » loud. I did donate since it is really amazing.

This is a great place with many interesting exhibits. But I suggest you take a tour or workshop. The docent and instructors are so interesting and knowledgeable. These were two unique exhibits.

It really makes you appreciate creativity, and how a piece of art comes together from the artist point of view. Enjoy.

It's true - I've lived in NYC for over 30 years and never once been to The Met. I know I give off an air of being cultured, but I'm a philistine at heart. Anyway, finally made my way up there on a day off. If you're a NYC resident, you get in for fr.. Read more »ee (or a suggested donation). You have to do it at the counter though, so you have to go through the awkward rigmarole if them asking how much you want to donate while not looking cheap. I just said $10 to get out of that situation. Anyway, the museum is gigantic, so you'll get your money's worth (okay, maybe not $25 worth). Lots of European paintings (at least one Van Gogh, one Picasso, and a bunch of others). Whoever decided to put the Monet's next to the Manet's sure has a sense of humor. Lots of other stuff to see too - the Asian wing is thoughtfully curated with Japanese, Chinese, and even a Korean section. There was a small 1800s photograph display when I went as well. A lot of Egyptian stuff too, as to be expected. A surprising amount of stained glass. And if you're into American art, there's a ton of that as well

Great collections of art and artifacts from all eras and cultures. Easily a 2-day experience for those museum lovers, but even a casual day visit can be rewarding.

A MUST see place in New York. I could probably spend a week there. The history the art It is phenomenal. It's a time travel you literally travel through time and look at history of humanity and all its contributions. Rarely have I seen a museum allow..

Being able to see the brushstrokes or wood grain on a painting or the grooves on a sculpture or mask brings so much more attachment to the work. It has a reputation as one of the finest museums in North America and it has earned it. Go see the MET, give yourself lots of time, savour the exhibits that make you feel something. You won't leave feeling as though you didn't get commensurate value for your time and money, if anything, you may not want to leave at all.

I just heard that the Metropolitan Museum of Art plans to reopen this summer,. It will be at limited capacity at first and will of course observe social distancing , faces masks, etc. However, any viewing of the Met this summer is good news. The Me..
