Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, dubbed "the Met" by locals, is the world's biggest art museum. Its permanent collection, which is split into 17 curatorial divisions, has almost two million items. The main structure, located at 1000 Fifth Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side's Museum Mile on the eastern side of Central Park, is one of the world's largest art museums by area. The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, a considerably smaller second site, houses a large collection of medieval art, architecture, and antiquities.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was established in 1870 with the goal of bringing art and art education to the people of the United States. The permanent collection of the museum includes works of art from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt, paintings and sculptures by practically all European masters, and a large collection of American and contemporary art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a large collection of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine, and Islamic art. The museum houses an extensive collection of musical instruments, clothing, and accessories, as well as historical weaponry and armor from all around the world. In its galleries, there are several remarkable interiors spanning from 1st-century Rome to current American design.
