Metropolitan Museum of Art

You probably need two days (or lots of dedication and an early start) to see the Met in its entirety. Go in and grab a map to make your game plan ahead of time if you can. I loved the American wing !

"meet me at the met.": what better place to have a quiet catchup with someone? favorite rooms: chinese garden ; temple of dendur; japanese reading room (which has a high view looking into the temple )

If you're a fan of Angela Lansbury be sure to go to the armory, raise your hands and recite "Traguna macoities dracorum sayteste."

Stunning is the closest I can use. The Met is massive, exudes beauty, oozes history, reveres religious artifacts , preserves the past & awakens the future. One of the world's most awe-inspiring museums

This place has a fantastic environment. Friendly and welcoming to all yet luxurious and fun. The collection of renaissance art is unbelievable. Check that out if you don't know where else to go.

One of NYC top cultural destinations, do not miss. Temple of Dendur is a standout. So much to see and grandiose temporary exhibits . Also love having cocktails on the mezzanine over the weekends.

I'm a sucker for art museums , and the Met is in the top tier of art musems around the world. A gold standard in the world of museums . There are not enough superlatives to describe how incredible it is

I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I told you that the Met has the best collection of art in the entire country . From antiquity to contemporary , they have thousands of years’ worth of art from all around.

Oh my❤️ you'd lose track of time❤️ breathtakingly beautiful, Roman wing was exquisite❤️ American wing has the finest collection of Louise Tiffany, and don't miss the gift shop ! The books 👌🏻

If you don't want to spend a lot of hours wandering,you should visit their site&mark all the exhibits you want to see and the galleries that they are located!Take a free map at the entrance and voilà!

Get a map & choose carefully because you cant cover so much in a day. Dont check all the exhibits in one day, keep your eagerness intense & check it in several days. Enjoy artistas this place is epic!

Incredible museum . So much to see and to learn! Friday & Saturday it’s open till 9 pm, and the ticket works for 3 days! We spent 2 evenings there without crowds. We’ll be back. Loved Egyptian exhibit .

So profoundly shocking how much art and relics were robbed from other cultures and brought here

That's my spot! The museum feels endless. The collections make your mouth water if you like history. Wear coZy shoes and if the day is nice, you can hit the roof for a glass of wine .

If I had to pick one museum to visit in NYC it would be THE MET. Keep in mind that you probably won't be able to see everything in one day. The entrance price is suggested. 👌🏻

Went with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The modern art , tribal art , and antique furniture sections were particularly interesting. Don't miss the view from the newly opened rooftop !!

Spent half a day here and was NOT enough time to absorb the history. This museum is a MUST stop for any visit to the city . The roof top area was the icing on the cake of a perfect day.

This maybe my personal favorite museum - for as long as I can remember. In fact I used to ask to come here so often dad thought it most practical to become a member. A must visit as often as possible

Simply the soul of the city - The hallowed halls are filled with many memories and so much wonder. Do the temporary exhibits and then pick a random room you’ve never been to before and loose yourself.

New York's largest museum , you can easily spend all day here. My favorite parts are the Decorative Arts & the costume exhibit from May-September. Visit the rooftop for stunning views of Central Park .

In addition to a number of recognizable arts , you get to see a huge collection of various arts as well as timed-exhibits. All included in ticket. And a beautiful Christmas tree during the season!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an incredibly diverse display of cultures, art and world history. Needs a few days, or even a lifetime of sporadic visits to fully enjoy.

Almost too overwhelming, I think it would take a week to see everything. I thought all the furniture was cool. I definitely appreciate the museum more now than as a teenager. Get a map, you'll need it

Guided docent tours have been really outstanding. You can't see everything, but it is great to have a volunteer pick out 8-10 of the items they are knowledgeable and passionate about.

The views are great and so are the installations. Head to the rooftop for refreshing beverages. You can use your ticket up to 3 days after, so be sure to hold onto it if you want to go back.

if you're looking for a not-crowded area to sit and sketch, the new american wing is usually pretty empty (especially compared to the european paintings galleries ).

Definitely go to the temple of dendur, Greek art , arts of Africa/Oceania and European sculpture and decorative arts . In Modern and contemporary art (Picasso’s work). I️ didn’t like the American wing

Was in town for the weekend and was able to see the China through the looking glass fashion exhibition . It was beautiful! The museum is huge and has so much to offer! Highly recommend!

I mean, can you go wrong? Been a member for 6 years although my recent visit to the American Wing & Exhibitions was a pleasant surprise! Go now, Run!

Suggested admission. The museum is so big, it will take a week to see everything. Like temporary exhibition of Irving Penn photos👏🏻

For the secret stairs to the roof, face the entrance doors to gallery 908. Slide 10 paces to your left and enter the door labeled STAIR R-4.

The halls are huge here. The Egyptian exhibit is a must for anyone with kids. We spent three hours at the museum & felt like we could have spent another 10 and still not seen everything.

The second time I visit the museum and I was not able to see it all! You need a few days to properly see what the museum has to offer. We went specifically to the Michelangelo exhibition . Great work!

Seriously. Don't forget to visit the rooftop garden cafe . The view is fantastic! The entrance is located deep in the medieval section.

I spend 5 hrs here and I enjoyed every minute of it! Greek, arab And America wings are the most interesting .. leave your coat at the check in area so you can enjoy the exhibition

The sheer size of the collections on display are incredible & you could easily spend days going through this museum . If had had to nitpick, I wish it was easier to locate specific art or artists .

This museum is huge! You'll need to set aside a whole day just to explore every bit of it! Extremely impressive. Make sure it's on your list if you're visiting New York!

Sundays are good arrive early if you are a member have brunch first at members lounge make sure to make a reservation , try to sit by window which outlooks to CP then start your expedition through

Pay as you wish museum . Enormous collection which spans from antiquities to the contemporary . Many guided tours available daily. Fantastic docents, experts in their topics. Not to be missed!

Visit the rooftop garden , which features a breathtaking view of the Manhattan skyline. It’s open between May and early fall and each year features a different artist’s site-specific installation.

The new David H. Koch Plaza is now open, and includes "completely new fountains , paving, and facade lighting, along with allées and bosques of trees , and seating areas for visitors. Read more

An amazing place. I wish I’d seen other art museums in the town . I regret having a huge backpack. I’d checked out though. I will be back, this place whooped me with all there is to see. Incredible.

Get the Audio Guide in addition to your ticket for admission, and bring your own headphones. The Guide adds terrific detail to what you see, and the headphones let you hear it much better.

It's the number one attraction in NYC. It has everything you need to clear your head & fill it with a fantastic dose of culture. No matter how often you visit, you'll always discover something new.

World class museum . Enormous. Overwhelming. Mandatory. New surprises await every visit, can't truly be experienced in a single visit. Entry only requires donation of your choice (MET recommends $25).

If you think of doing something in New York City , you can be certain that at least 2000 other people have the same thought. And of the 2000 who do, about 1000 will be standing in line waiting to do it

Everything here is wonderful. If you coat check make sure you know which one to go back to. See what you want first then move around too much to see in one day.
