The Metropolitan Museum of Art

We had a wonderful experience at The Met. My advice is to purchase tickets online in advance and decide which sections of the museum you would like to explore before your visit. The best time to arrive is right before opening and head straight to the area you want to see first. We did exactly that and went directly to the Impressionist collection, which was at the top of our list. Because we arrived early, we were able to enjoy that section before it became crowded. As the hours go by, the museum gets very busy. The Met is enormous and definitely deserves at least 2–3 days to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. There is still so much for us to see, and we look forward to coming back.

The Met is truly one of the greatest museums in the world. The collection is vast, diverse, and incredibly well curated, covering thousands of years of history, art, and culture from across the globe. Every gallery offers something fascinating, from ancient Egyptian artifacts and European masterpieces to modern works and stunning decorative arts. The museum is beautifully organized, making it easy to spend hours exploring without ever getting bored. The building itself is magnificent, and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply curious about history and culture, The Met is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must-visit in New York City.

Love the MET! It always hits everytime. Each wing is different and engaging. Have gone with people who don’t live museums, and they loved it! The Egyptian wing is absolutely incredible. Temple of dendur is amazing. I reccomend eating at other places though. Food is expensive, and very mediocre. Cafes aren’t horrible for small snacks. Gelato is excellent. GO THROUGH SIDE ENTRANCE. There was 0 wait. If you go through the front, it could be like 30 min. Also, you can park at their own deck. You have to pay in advance though. It’s very convenient to enter the museum.

Probably the best overall museum in the world. Astounding collections, through dozens of various times and places. It’s hard to even put it in words how awesome this museum is. The only negative I can list right now is there seems to be a lot of places roped off, for seemingly no reason. Also the modern art section is being expanded and renovated so there’s only a small collection of that, which is a bummer because I’ve been into more contemporary art recently. But that barely touches the joy I get from this place.

This Museum has something for everyone. Everything from Impressionist masterpieces - Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Degas - to the abstract impressionist painting of Jackson Pollock. The Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie House Room reconstruction is a must see for any architecture fan. The Egyptian collection is superb - and extensive. There are many rooms dedicated to sculpture from early Roman/Greek to ancient Cambodian treasures. My only complaints about the museum are the unexpected gallery closures ( the Jackson Pollock was unavailable on the day I went) and the lack of a 2-day ticket option ( with discount for a second day). It is impossible to see this whole museum in a day ( without your feet complaining bitterly) - so a second day is highly recommend or plan your itinerary before you go - so you make it to the exhibitions/ galleries you want to see. Line ups can be huge - but it is a huge gallery with plenty of space - so you will get in.... Eventually. Great disabled access, with large doors & lots of elevators. This is a Must-do.
