Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Met

“The Met is a universal museum: every category of art in
every known medium from every part of the world during every
epoch of recorded time is represented here and thus available
for contemplation or study — not in isolation but in
comparison with other times, other cultures, and other
media.”

Visit the Met…see the world! With nearly two million works
of art spanning more than 5,000 years, The Metropolitan Museum
of Art is one of the world’s largest and finest museums,
presenting the best of human creativity from around the
globe. A world of great art awaits you at the Met-NYC’s
most-visited attraction. The Museum’s renowned global
collections and some 30 special exhibitions a year are free
with your admission. Plus, enjoy dining facilities, the Audio
Guide, and shopping at the Met Store.

Special Exhibitions

The Met Store

The Met Store is a fabulous place to buy gifts; you will find
publications based on past and present exhibits, stationary,
puzzles, jewelry and other reproductions produced by the Museum.
Upstairs there are rugs and posters for home decorating with
style.

At the Museum – by Jason Wiggins

There are several large museums in New York but the
Metropolitan Museum of Art is truly gigantic. From the
sidewalk on Fifth Avenue, the Met, with its tall columns and
windows, immense stairways and water fountains, looks like
it could be an emperor’s palace. The size and diversity
of the artwork on display is even more impressive; the
museum’s collection contains works from every part of the
world, spanning the Stone Age to the twentieth century. The
Egyptian Art gallery includes a whole temple that was
shipped to America as a gift.

Getting at least a little bit lost at the Met is inevitable.
Floor plans help, but only so much. Despite their seeming
complexity, though, the galleries are arranged to help you
navigate through with ease. If you get mixed up, there are
always museum personnel nearby who can give you directions
If you’re planning on visiting the Met and another museum
on Museum Mile in one trip,
you’ll have to prioritize; going through the entire Met
is a full day (or two) affair. The Met is a must see when
visiting New York and is always worth another trip.

The Museum participates in several programs that include
free admission for students. All New York City public school
students, along with students from Bard Graduate Center,
Barnard College, Columbia University, and the Institute of
Fine Arts at New York University, may visit the Museum for
free. Please check with your school administrator to see if
your student I.D. allows free admission to the Museum.
