Is breath taking. Huge and somewhat confusing to navigate. Not everyone willing to help, some staff actually seemed agrivated by question Im sure asked several times a day. Why the 4 stars? The reason you are there the works of art are brilliant and majestic. To be in the presence of such genius is down right inspiring and spiritual. Take your time and enjoy. Your day is what you make it !

One of the finest museums in the world. An absolutely huge museum. Wont be able to see everything in one visit. Pick areas/exhibits and move through them slowly examining and really appreciating every piece to see what it means to you. Highly recommended.

The MET is the largest museum in the nation and is a place in New York that you cant just visit once.Theres always new exhibits here throughout the year, that are quite engaging I must say. I feel this is the one museum in the country that is sure to have something of interest for everyone, even if youre not someone into art or history. With the sheer number of exhibitions they have theres bound to be something of interest for you at some point here! Thats what makes this museum so impressive!Many people who live in and around the city will come by here just to relax, read a book, work on their laptop, so forth as its a nice place to take a break. Being along Central Park and on Fifth Avenue youre surrounded by a lot of other amazing spots as well.If you visit here, be prepared to do a lot of walking! This place is very massive! If youre someone who really likes to take in the art it may take you a couple of visits to see everything housed here.

This is definitely a NYC Icon!!! This is an amazing museum with something for everyone. This place is for the locals and tourists and everything in-between. This amazing space has everything you need. I don’t even know where to begin with this place. I say start with the Greeks and make your way to the Egyptians. The rooftop is not to be missed. It does have a rotating exhibit so come back again and again. The restaurants are closed so time yourself going in either after breakfast or after lunch. I highly highly recommend this place!

Im a big museum and art gallery buff and I was so excited to visit for the first time. Unfortunately we arrived an hour b4 closing time, so I had to rush through as many exhibits as possible, which was still fun and interesting for me! I especially loved the Africa exhibit with the many historical Egyptian items on display!

Museum is at a limited capacity giving you a better opportunity to see things as long as you may need to enjoy artwork. Huge building with an enormous archive of art. Definitely wear comfortable shoes. You’d probably need more than a day to really look through the museum. Great for a date!

I simply love this spot! Being a part has its favorable circumstances, you will go in through the 81st individuals entrance, you get a markdown at the Met store. You would never observe every one of these fortunes in a single day. An absolute necessity spot to take your children.

The MET is the most visited museum in New York. They’re open now and tickets should be reserved ahead online. Face covering is a must and temperature check before entering. Weekends get a bit crowded so weekdays work better if you don’t like crowds. Do check out Jacob Lawrence in the modern gallery and the Lattice Detour show on the roof garden- both great exhibition!

The Met was very clean and organized, I was impressed especially since it just recently opened after COVID closings. I loved some of the new acquisitions and noticed some more women and POC artists! One of the painting galleries was closed but the American room still had some excellent works of art. It’s one of my favorite places and I recommend a visit to everyone!

The Met presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience onlineIt is a place worth a try and I recommend it very well because it is magical, as much as imagination

I just love this place! Being a member has its advantages, you get to go in through the 81st members entrance, you get a discount at the Met store. You could never see all these treasures in one day. A must place to take your kids.

We are so lucky to have such an incredible institution in our community. This is a world-class museum with equally important pieces of art. Don’t plan on seeing everything in one day. Take a few pieces in and come back for more when ready. Buy tickets online in advance to help move through the line quicker. This is an easy walk from the southern tip of Central Park.

I always love going to this museum but I should’ve know Saturday isn’t the day to come. I would recommend to come during the weekday when you have chance.

This great museum has relevant pieces of art collected of all over the world, like objects of Egyptian civilization, Greek, African, Latin American, it is remarkable the contemporary collection, classic painting, sculptures, architecture, arms, different environments. I can not finish to describe the great experience I had in this place. Highly recommended!

A beautiful museum with many wonderful exhibits. Very clean and organized. Very friendly staff in the gift shop.

The Met is celebrating its 150 years with a fabulous exhibition. Masks are mandatory and a 25% capacity is in place. Max Hollien, the Met’s Director, has also implemented a one-way-circulation inside all room, facilitating physical space and a smoother flow. All the windows shine and everything looks pristine. A must visit.

My wife and I went to the Met for the first time since COVID. They have timed entry and spacing requirements. There are a lot of one ways and plenty of space to spread out. They have additional times tickets for the special exhibit. It’s free so don’t forget to grab the extra ticket! NY residents can still pay what they want with an ID as well.

This museum is huge and we only saw the 1st floor today. Thats fine gives us another reason to go again. This museum is great for kids as well as teenagers.

Amazing place. A nice way to cover a part of the human history. Totally worth it if you are in NY.

Well you have two options... Either you go around the world and visit every single country or you just visit The Met! Incredible museum. Consider few hours for at least couple of days in order to see it all

Very beautiful place! Its worth seeing, the time is too short, and I will go in and take a closer look next time！Mine is a Huawei phone, and it is graded in professional mode, and it can shoot very brightly in dark places! Put an advertisement for Huawei!！

Amazing Architecture and history around every corner. My favorite place to spend a whole day.COVID practices are very good and plenty of space to move around with social distancing

The MET is truly one of the top museums in the country. The quality and diversity of the art they have at any given moment is remarkable! Although it is listed as 5 floors there are really only 2 floors, some sections have an upstairs that expand the respective exhibit. I would plan 4-5 hours for a full experience

Wait until the pandemic to visit this museum. Or just really try and get early a.m reservations. Its mostly closed off, and youre just redirected to do circles. Youd think because you can make reservations the amount of people allowed into the museum would be controlled. Nope, it was just as packed and during the pandemic thats scary. While visiting the Photography exibit, a homeless person casually enjoying the museum as he should, relaxing on the sofa, coughed 2x and cleared the room.

Great experience with the space operating at 25% capacity due to COVID restrictions. It was like we had the museum to ourselves. A far cry from the hustle and bustle of the normal days when they were at 100% (though seemingly more).

The Met is a national treasure of such tremendous scope that it seems impossible to ever have enough time to fully appreciate all of the exhibits. Take heart, as it is organized in a fashion that allows one to appreciate it bit by bit. Pro tip: the group entrance (to the far left of the main entrance) is less crowded and remember tickets are good for three consecutive days.

This place was amazing and huge. Since moving here in June this was the moment where I felt like the city was ‘normal”. It was so much walking and looking at things that blew my mind. Parking wasn’t too hard. I went on a Sunday so I just found street parking. Pace yourself because there is a lot to see.

The MET is a must if you’re visiting New York , such a great place to admire old civilizations. The Armor Room is fantastic the Temple of Debsur is breathtaking

Reserve tickets online, pay what you wish for New Yorkers! Felt very safe during covid.

Museum contains many art treasures. If you walk in, will be attracted by these brilliant achievements.The collections including Asia, Europe, Africa, also local arts.Its a great large museum, better take time to have a look. You will love these atrs treasures.

Never enough time. The museum is so vast and the collections are marvelous. Spent most of my time in the Jacob Lawrence and Fashion exhibits. Then the surrounding modern & south Asian collections. Cant wait to return.

We had a great experience! One of the best Museum in the world. Many famous Paintings and artwork! Great location as it is in Central Park!Tips:-There is another entry in the parking lot. You don’t have to park to use this entrance. Therefore, go around and use this entry while there are hundreds of people standing on the line in front of the building.- Park will cost you around $13 per hour. It is not that bad considering the average parking cost in New York City!

Amazing museum. Loved going for my first time and cant wait to go back again.

This is by far one of the greatest museums I have ever visited. The art is to die for, the structure is stunning, and it’s right next to Central Park which makes for great walking afterwards. The staff is incredibly friendly to boot! My only complaint is that it’s not very accommodating for strollers or wheelchairs if any part of the museum is down. There are elevators but sometimes exhibits are under construction. Despite this, it’s still an amazing museum!

Very well managed in COVID times.This was clean, maintained and exhibits are awesome. Looking at southest Asia and Central Asia was a delight.will go bavk again.The 150 years of MET and Fashion era was superb.

One of my favorite places in NYC.Tip #1 if you are New York resident and have an ID to prove it you may pay any amount to enter the museum, you are not supposed to pay regular admission fee.Tip#2 if you are a tourist I would suggest to purchase a New York City pass. It used to cost about $100 a day and it covers almost all most popular tourist attractions in the City. This way you will visit more places and save your money. Passholders dont pay entering fee as long as this place is in partnership with City Pass Program.Tip#3 Met does have a cafeteria to have your meal if you become hungry. But it is super expensive. So here is 2 choices. Either to have some food with you and have a lunch at Central park or go somewhere else close to Met.Tip#4 Metropolitan museum is huge. 1 day to see it fully is something impossible. Even though I suggest to come there upon their opening to enjoy an art longer.

I was only able to pick a few areas of the museum to visit but the time I spent there was absolutely amazing. Like everyone else who visits, you are taken back by the whole experience. I will definitely be returning to finish viewing all the exhibitions and am eager anticipating that visit. Easily a top 10 must when visiting NYC!

This museum is so gorgeous. It’s very large so definitely plan a couple of hours here!

Timed and limited tickets are the best thing to happen for art goers. You can actually stop and view the art at more leisurely pace. The staff is also very diligent about keeping safe distancing, which is nice.

Hidden gem of Art, super fascinating and admirable museum!!!! Its a Universal perfect place for tourists, first dates, date or date night, alone time and or family trips... be sure to wear comfortable shoes if you plan to tackle the entire museum in one day which I did and it takes about roughly about 4-5 hours (with breaks in between )..... you can take pictures and video but be sure not to use flash because the security guards (which are everywhere) will come after you but not literally cheers and enjoy

One of the best museums that I have seen my entire life. Simply wonderful and gigantic! It is a very popular museum near the Central park, so when I went there it was very crowded. They have special galleries according to the theme of the year. When I went there the theme was Heavenly Bodies Catholic Imagination; the same theme of the Met Gala of that year... Quite an experience, definitely recommend...

Its true - Ive 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 Im a philistine at heart.Anyway, finally made my way up there on a day off. If youre a NYC resident, you get in for free (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 youll get your moneys 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 Monets next to the Manets 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 youre into American art, theres a ton of that as well

One of the best places to just get lost in for a day in NYC. I spent 5-6 hours just wandering looking at all of the beautiful objects on display. I am not a huge fan of art museums (I prefer history and science museums generally) but something about the MET elevates it beyond most of what youd think of when it comes to art museums. A vast majority of the objects here blend history and art together, so youll get amazing sculptures from Ancient Egypt, or intricately carved suits of armor from the middle ages.My 9 year old Daughter was completely enthralled the entire time we were there, so that should tell you something.Truly a must see when visiting the Big Apple.

Great museum, amazing art.Plan at least one day to make sure you cover the highlights.I recommend to go late on Saturday evenings. About one hour before closing you were basically alone - even in front of the highlights like the Van Goghs.Also if you travel to NY just for the art, consider the traditional off month like February.

One of my all time favorite places in NYC to visit! This place is a NY institution and a must to visit as a tourist and local alike! You can spend hours and hours here, getting lost amongst the artworks, statues and paintings in the halls. The American Wing is absolutely stunning, as is the Temple of Dendur. The ticket process, check in, COVID check was very simple and quick. The museum was pretty much empty, giving you ample room and space to admire and enjoy the artwork, as well as to socially distance yourself from others. You can enjoy the museum at your own pace without having to worry about the pesky tourists in your view or being obnoxious (thank God tourists and out of state visitors have to pay! We New Yorkers pay as we wish!) I’m so happy they reopened! Make sure you check out the Cloisters as well, another beautiful gem in NYC!

Omg its a huge one and if u want to walk in detail it takes a day to cover the entire museum. Its beautiful beyond comparison and stunning to walk the past. Must visit

I was mistaken when I thought I can see the entire place in 4 or 5 hours. This museum is HUGE! You can spend an entire day over here and still may not be able to see it all. We were only able to see the Egypt section in details, but I walked through the entire museum to get pictures of big artifacts. Good thing is that next time when we visit NYC, I know we can come back to this museum and explore another section. I also bought the tickets through city pass and the audio tour was included in the tickets. No matter where you get the tickets from, please get the audio tour as well. You learn so many facts and it was way better than reading every small panel. GREAT TRIP INDEED!

They have great artworks here -- they are doing a renovation so many of the paintings (Van Gogh and others) that were upstairs. I love the new exhibits they have. Although this not as big as the Louvre, to see all the artworks in a day would be overwhelming. Its worth seeing the exhibits first. The Tiffany Wing is a must see.

Some of the best art in the world. But of course right now its so not crowded we could really see the impressionist art from the middle of the room. And other pieces of art up close without so many people around.

One of the most important and amazing museums Ive been to! Though youd probably need a whole day to go through the entire exhibitions, the time just stops and lets you enjoy and dwell in the past.A truely great collection of amazing paintings, sculptures and exhibits.Personally, I went to see the ancient Egypt exhibition which was simply astounding!Even after reading and exploring it for so many years, nothing compares to seeing it in person.A must for every NYC visitor!

You can’t find a finer museum anywhere in the world. The first floor alone with statues from Classical Greece and Rome will you busy for at least a week. The cafe is also first rate and reasonable. Amazing place.

Had long been on my Bucket List when I was able to visit in December 2019. Spent 7 hours and probably only scooted through 3/5ths of it taking over 600 pictures. Wish I had had more days to roam as my ticket was good for 3 days, but not sure my feet could take anymore after walking the city for 7 days. Great trip, and the museum was a crown jewel.

The MET is truly an amazing place to visit!

The museum has pretty decent safety precautions. They take everyone’s temperature before entering and ask that you buy tickets for a certain time-slot. I don’t know how well the time-slot tickets are enforced. Regardless, there were still a lot of people and not everyone complied with social-distancing or properly wearing a mask. The museum’s art is still good as ever. The newer galleries were a little bleak, but the classics never fail to impress.

The Met is doing an excellent job of maintaining social distancing for guests at this time. You have to make a reservation beforehand to ensure a limited number of people entering the museum at a time. Many of the narrow exhibits are closed to avoid crowded spaces. Other, less small, exhibits are one way traffic to facilitate distancing. Overall it was a great experience in this difficult time.

Had a wonderful time with my family. Its beautiful!

A great time to visit (Nov. 2020). Although with 25% capacity rules, enjoy the museum with mostly local crowds only... 2 rooms of Van Gogh to enjoy up close.

One of my favorite museums in the world, and at least they pay for their stolen art lol. It’s big and comprehensive, and beautiful.

Greeks have way better art than Egyptians. Very, very nice collection.

What can be said about the MET that hasn’t been said before? I have visited the MET multiple times and everytime I find myself fully captivated by its grandness.The Impressionist period is by far my favorite, always captivating, I also highly recommend The Greek and Roman Sculpture Court, one cannot visit the MET without visiting The Temple of Dendur, the only complete Egyptian temple in the Western Hemisphere.

Life changing cultural experience each and every time I visit!

This place is a maze. Be prepared to spend an entire day exploring the amazing culture of the past! Dont be afraid to ask for directions. Bathrooms available.

Huge gallery and collections. Safe and clean. Plan to spend some time here.

One of the best museums of America. So many collections that are very organized in rooms which are numbered based on themes, every object has information about it attached on a wall. Clean and beautiful place, you are allowed to take pictures there, but not videos. Security is very polite and they would help in case you need something or lost. I spent there almost the whole day and still felt like there is much to see, but I was so tired, so I went home. If the rooftop is open, you must go because the view is very beautiful.I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.️ What do you think of this beautiful place?⁣⁣ Instagram ===> @retarophotography⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We (wife-and-self) NEVER get tired of The Met (as we and other locals call it). Features that draw us back again and again include:1. Its great modern and American art;2. Its must-see new exhibits;3. Its wonderful collection of the classics;4. Its excellent and friendly personnel who keep us from getting lost;5. Its overall vibe, almost like that of a cathedral, but one dedicated to art.

Not much you can really say, it is the art museum and it is huge, it used to be pay as you wish for tourists, but that it long gone now.The galleries are amazing and full of amazing pieces, you can spend an entire day here and still be engaged with every piece they have on display. I enjoyed the many of the cultural pieces they have from all over the world. So much to read and explore. Definitely go here if your about art, if your not, obviously not worth paying to go in.It is usually crowded, but it shouldnt bother you so much, there is more than enough space in the museum and with so many exhibits, so spot is actually that packed.

The museum is good, full of valuable relics. But the staff was very unfriendly. They were only chatting , phoning and disciplining visitors. This museum wasnt offered us free map and also application of free map service. When we asked location of several places in the museum few timesstaffs answered follow exit, or go straight, longest as just two world was not helpful at all. They are very old people seems that have lost theirs passion, better to replace by young people

An extremely enjoyable experience. Youre probably be overwhelmed with how massive the museum is. I was there for 2 hours and barely saw half of the art exhibits. An amazing Van Gogh and Egypt exhibit. Definitely plan what youre going to see before you come to museum.

What an iconic place this is, so amazing museum. We could’ve spent days here without getting tired .will definitely becoming back for more history!

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 about 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!!

We had a wonderful time. You have to reserve tickets or a timed slot and pay on arrival. Fewer people earlier in the day. Must wear a mask at all times. The place was so much bigger than I thought. Saw a fraction of what it holds. Looking forward to going back.

DO NOT MISS THIS MUSEUM! It was the highlight of my trip to New York! If you love history even a little this is the place youre going to want to live in for the rest of your life. The artifacts are literally never ending! My love of Egypt started me out to the right through the Egyptian galleries. I rented the audio guide and it had a lot of information that was not available on the placard, as well as fun stories about the artifacts themselves. I spent over an hour just in the Egypt wing when it hit me how massive this museum was. I had to speed walk through the fully furnished french baroque apartments! How they fit so many things in this one building is beyond me! They have a full scale Egyptian Temple, Chinese Garden, Tiffany windows, Arabic wood paneled room, ancient Roman bedroom, I just kept seeing more and more. Next time I will do more than just one day here thats for sure! Please do not miss out on this museum.

#1 fine art museum in the US, #4 in the world - there are wings that themselves could be entire museums.

Always enjoy coming to the MET. Went back today to see two special exhibits for rock music and CAMP for fashion. Brilliant displays. Was lucky to see Princes guitar and Beatles drums in addition to Lady Gagas piano and many more famous rock and music stars from past and now. We saw some modern US art paintings and European impressionist paintings too. Had an amazing time. Entry fee for NY residents is pay as you wish and for out of state is $25.

Hidden gem of Art, super fascinating and admirable museum!!!! Its a Universal perfect place for tourists, first dates, date or date night, alone time and or family trips... be sure to wear comfortable shoes if you plan to tackle the entire museum in one day which I did and it takes about roughly about 4-5 hours (with breaks in between )..... you can take pictures and video but be sure not to use flash because the security guards (which are everywhere) will come after you but not literally cheers and enjoy

The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially the Met, is the largest art museum in the United States. With 6,479,548 visitors to its three locations in 2019, it was the fourth most visited art museum in the world. Its permanent collection contains over two million works, divided among 17 curatorial departments. The main building at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile on the eastern edge of Central Park in Manhattans Upper East Side, is by area one of the worlds largest art galleries. A much smaller second location, The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, contains an extensive collection of art, architecture, and artifacts from medieval Europe. On March 18, 2016, the museum opened the Met Breuer museum along Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side; it extends the museums modern and contemporary art program.

It’s a world class museum! What else can be said? 2 MILLION square feet of priceless art. The layout is a little mind-boggling, but it’s perfect for getting lost in. Definitely an all-day activity, and you still won’t see it all. The staff was very kind and worked to enforce social distancing during Covid.

Worth 5 stars cause I met aaron judge thereOh and the art was cool too

Really amazing. Over 2 million sq ft of art. You need to be prepared to walk and spend a long time here. We did about 3 hrs and really didn’t scratch the surface of what they had.The cost was so reasonable and quite honestly I was expecting to pay twice that. So great value for the money.It was raining super heavy outside so by mid afternoon this place was packed! We arrived at about 10 am and hand very little lines to get on and pay. But when we left mid afternoon the lobby was so packed we could hardly make it out. So i would suggest coming early for sure.We got one audio device and sort of shared it. Not really of much interest but for some people I would imagine hearing the extra info would be just amazing.Wish we had to come back another day and from what I understand you get in free the following day, so the admission is an even better deal!!Would love to visit and spend more time some day.

Have you ever been to a museum as a young person and liking it? Well, imagine feeling like one as an adult. But, loving it. Well, then, theres more than a good chance, that museum was, The Met. Second question, have you ever taken a museum tour? Run dont walk to experience the wealth of knowledge. How enlightening, how motivating, its exhilarating!! The Met, The tour, go book it.

What an amazing museum. One of the best museums I ever been to. Make sure to bring comfy shoes because you’ll be doing plenty of walking inside this place. Also make sure to bring your student ID as it is based on an honor system. The prices will be half as cheap if you’re a student. Bring your camera also, you can take great shots here if you know where to look.

The Met was very clean and organized, I was impressed especially since it just recently opened after COVID closings. I loved some of the new acquisitions and noticed some more women and POC artists! One of the painting galleries was closed but the American room still had some excellent works of art. It’s one of my favorite places and I recommend a visit to everyone!

Great museum to spend a day in!! Beautiful and diverse artworks. Nice souvenir shop. Reserve spot online before going can save your time with lineups.

Must reserve a time online before you go. The line when you get there will be long but it is really fast. I felt very safe going to the museum during the pandemic

This place was amazing. To see all the statues and art work on display was like jumping into a time capsule. Very good place to visit.

The best place to expand your mind. :)

The Greek & Roman, as well as the Near East, then Arab Islamic halls are the best. So well curated

I love the museums in New York and have been to every one of them along Museum Mile. Unless they opened another one in the past few years, I think I have been to all of them. The MET was the first one to visit along Museum Mile over a decade ago and it is still a solid visit no matter how many times I return. This time around my daughter wanted to visit and I was more than happy to go.There is so much to The MET and you could easily spend a good part of the day viewing artwork, special collections and exhibitions. It does get crowded and the ticket que can be quite long during certain parts of the day. I believe you can purchase your tickets online which would be your best option. I have not done that for The MET but I can see how it would be beneficial.One thing about New York is that it is not short of culture. There are art museums and cultural exhibits everywhere in this city. If you are looking to visit one museum in New York due to time or interest, I would say go here- The MET. Well, the MoMA is good too but that is more modern art. Then after viewing The MET and if you are interested in other NY museums, just keep heading down Museum Mile. There are many museums and it actually took me a decade of several visits to complete the list of museums. With that said, nothing beats The MET for New York museums! Even if you are not familiar with art, there are artists that I am sure you have heard of that are displayed at The MET- Van Gough, Degas, Renoir, etc. It is well worth the time and visit to get some New York culture in!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the greatest museums in the world. Numerous collections of artwork collected all over the world, all well organized and certainly worth your time. A must-see when in New York. I loved it and highly recommend it. Dont miss it!

Michelangelos Cupid on loan.The Met finally re-opened, post Covid.Nourishment for the soul.

The best museum Ive ever been to. There were really helpful tour guides and even if you dont speak English there are plenty of people that will talk to you in whatever language you speak whether it be Spanish, Mandarin, French, Russian, Arabic, etc.I really recommend booking an emptymet tour on their website if you dont mind spending a pretty penny because you get to go on a quiet tour with an intimate group; it was a really special experience.I also recommend eating before you head in because you will spend hours looking at all the amazing things they have on display. From Ancient Egyptian temples and hieroglyphs, to impressionist art, to The American Revolution. You could spend a whole week there and it would be the equivalent of visiting 17 museums.And last but not least, their gift shop. They have books everywhere, tote bags, scarves, pins and more! There prices are a bit hefty, but if youre willing their stuff is made to last.I hope you have fun if you go!

Absolutely a five star review of this historical monument to classical art. There are so many pieces that not only I recognize, but, have such cultural significance worldwide. It is a must visit every time I go to Manhattan.

This is New York Citys most visited museum and attraction for good reason: it has over 50,000 years of art, culture, and history from around the world. The organization and presentation of these collections is truly second to none. Accessible to anyone, The Met is a source of inspiration, insight and understanding into ourselves and our surrounding world. You will learn, escape, play, dream, discover, and connect with the rest of humanity through the ages.Plan on spending a full day perusing the displays and artifacts and you could easily spend more than a day and still not see everything. The sheer breadth of collections from epochs, empires, and the everyday of human history contained in this museum is simply not possible to absorb in less than one full day and a second and third day will be more realistic.For members, you’ll enjoy a respite in the members only lounge that serves as a quiet upscale distraction to reflect and converse about the awe inspiring collections in your midst.If you’re a New York resident and have not visited then make this a priority for yourself. If you’re a visitor, then I implore you to make this museum a must see during your stay in NYC.

Beautiful building, so much of everything, every time coming I can find something new. Love it

Magnificent museum which has artifacts from all significant periods in History. The building itself is a gem in the New York skyline. The little known garden terrace is also a great asset and worthy of a visit, but check for opening times as it closes at the end of October.The only fault, if any, is that the museum is too big, and can take more than a day to see all the contents. You will need a plan of what you want to see if you have a limit of time.Well worth a trip, and as the city funds the museum, the entrance donation is needed for the upkeep of such a prestigious attraction.

Went here on a school trip, it was absolutely amazing. So many iconic artworks in it, the gift shop was very nice as well. Would definitely go back :)

It’s just a wonderful museum to explore . As they’re different types and eras of artwork to observe. The staff were very nice and helpful especially when it came to directions as this museum is massively huge. The galleries/sections were very clean, well organized and presented. I’m glad to say that I will be coming back to visit and explore more of the beautiful artworks they have on display to the public.
