Enjoy in Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the most well-known museum in the US. "The Met" is an art experience unlike any other, overflowing with works of art from all over the world, including renowned collections from Ancient Egypt and ancient antiquity. However, like much of New York, it's hard to see everything the museum has to offer in a single day (or even two days, for that matter). If you've never been there, you should definitely check out its permanent collections; tourists particularly enjoy the Greek and Roman, Egyptian, and Islamic art shows on the first level. If you've previously been to the Met once or twice, schedule your next visit around the Costume Institute's biannual exhibitions, or go to The Met Cloisters, a satellite museum in Fort Tyron Park that focuses on the art and architecture of medieval Europe.
The Met is adored by tourists, who praise its first-rate amenities and artwork. To make the most of your visit, many advise reading the museum's website to plan the exhibitions you want to view. For a deeper understanding of the museum's exhibits, you can also sign up for a separate guided tour.
The museum is situated at 1000 Fifth Ave, on the eastern edge of Central Park, and may be reached by taking the 4, 5, or 6 line to the 86th St. station. The museum is open every day from 10 am to 5:30 pm, with later hours on Friday and Saturday until 9 pm. Children under the age of 12 can enter for free when accompanied by an adult who is paying the suggested entrance price of $25 for adults, $17 for seniors, and $12 for students to the Main Building and The Cloisters Museum Gardens. Tickets are good for three days straight at each of the three venues. Tickets can be bought offline or online. The entrance is "pay what you desire" if you're a New York resident or a student in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut. With a legitimate ID, you must purchase these tickets in person. Visit the art museum's website to learn more, including forthcoming exhibits.
