Simply astonishing!! You need multiple visits to get to see the entire museum! The museum is pretty big and its definitely a museum you have to check out!They have so much historical artifacts from all over the world, its so amusing, extremely captivating and definitely worth coming to see as much as you can! I wish I had more time in the day to see it all! Everywhere you turn catches your eye.I suggest you stick to one side of the museum and go up and see the top section then move to the opposite side and work your way back down, but anyway you go will be great!I was really captivated by the Egyptian exhibit!🗺️🎎⚰️🏺⛲🎨
Oh my gosh, The Met is a can’t-miss experience! This is by far the best art museum I have ever been to, there are so many exhibits to see + explore. The whole space is so beautiful & there is so much room to roam that it doesn’t ever seem to be crowded inside the museum (even on a busy weekend day). I recommend buying tickets in advance, but you can certainly purchase on-site on the day of your visit as well!
Glorious and huge museum with absolutely so much to see. Its very easy to get lost here but there is so much beautiful art and the museum is very classy and well kept. I definitely want to go back because I didnt get to see it all in one day.
Really enjoyed my time here. Originally the plan was to go for the rooftop area they have, but the wait time to get in was too much. The exhibitions are very nice. Definitely a family friendly place. If you’re a NY, NJ, or CT resident you can pay what you want to get in. Student discounts are also available.
Overall one of the best museums. It has everything. Paintings, statues, Art Installations and rebuildings of historic sites. And everything spans across hundreds of years.You can get lost in this museum and it would be best to go multiple times to really savour it.If you are slightly interested in art or history this is a must visit.
New exhibition in Met: " In America, a Lexicon of Fashion".Very impressive, with a hidden messages. Some exhibit does not associate with word artist try connected (but its my personal opinion), but every person can discover own interpretation, what they see.Plus music playing while you inside, created unique vibe.Clear your mind, put all stress behind and enjoy!
This museum is great but definitely be prepared to spend hours there. There is so much to see you could dedicate an entire day to just this attraction if you want to see everything. The lobby was very busy but since the rest of the museum is very spread out, it wasn’t too crowded to walk through all the rooms. I really enjoyed the music exhibition.
As soon as we arrived, we noticed that the staffs were always very attentive, giving their best to guide and answer the tourists doubts. The museum is beautiful and huge, it has three floors with several rooms with different themes and works of art for all tastes, from paintings to statues, books to musical instruments. In addition, on the ground floor there is a gallery with a ceiling full of windows that make the place look magnificent, and at the end of this room, a cafe with a variety of food and drink options and many tables to enjoy the place and the flavors. The location is on the edge of Central Park, being easily accessible and close to other famous New York attractions. The only tip I would leave for those who come by car to NYC is to look for a place further away to park as there are not many parking spaces around the museum, in addition to the fact that it is a great opportunity to stroll through the beautiful park.
The Met is a fantastic museum with a huge variety of exhibits. I would HIGHLY recommend buying tickets in advance as the line to buy or obtain tickets is enormous. The Met offers free tickets for NY residents, so a lot of the line comes from locals who need to pick up tickets. If you book tickets online, there is no line.The museum is clean, well-maintained, and well-documented. I would definitely recommend doing research ahead of time to figure out what you want to see, as there isnt a "suggested route" to take through the museum (plus, its MASSIVE, so seeing everything would likely be a multi-day endeavor).The gift shop had a nice selection of items for tourists and locals alike. The restaurant had good options and reasonable prices (for a museum restaurant), but the line was fairly long.
One of the best museums that Ive ever been to, aside from the Louvre in Paris. Its one of the few places that is always on my list whenever Im in New York.The MET is a big museum with lots to see, its hard to see all the art and artifacts within a day so if youre looking to explore as much of the museum as possible I recommend going early. You can grab a ticket from the ticketing desk when youre there or from the automated kiosk, I highly recommend the automated kiosk since it is much faster.Theres audio guides for the art and artifacts within the MET which I highly recommend, since it gives context to what youre looking at.The museum is beautifully set up and built, they have permanent and temporary exhibits. Every exhibit is made with such care that you feel as though youre transported back in time. The Chinese courtyard inside the museum is one of my favourites.I also got a chance to see a lot of beautiful dresses for their fashion week exhibit, which was very tastefully displayed and set up.I highly recommend the MET for anyone looking to checkout a museum with lots of interesting arts and artifacts! Its definitely an experience like no other.
I went with my friend yesterday (08/12/2022). It was both of our first times at the Met. I, unfortunately, did not get a picture of the grand stairs in front of the 82nd St entrance. Security lines were quick and painless. We went to the ticket counter and got 2 tickets for $1 (provided my college ID card and Zip Code). NYC residents and NYC students can always go in person to get cheaper tickets. The exhibits were fun and fascinating. Both my friend and I took lots of photos of the different art exhibitions. They had a rooftop garden that provided a view of Midtown Manhattan as well as Central Park, and it was quite a view. They had museum officials everywhere that provided directions to navigate this large and beautiful museum. Exhibits ranged from American Arts to Japanese/Korean Arts (and everything in between). Be prepared to spend 2-4 hours just viewing all the different art pieces. Also, wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot. Overall, we throughly enjoyed our experiences at the Met and would come back again.
Of course this is a beautiful museum! Some incredibly famous pieces of art! My husband and I were there for about 5 hours and did not see everything. I feel like I wouldve planned to stop in the middle and eat as my feet were getting very tired. It is also difficult to make sure you see everything in a certain area, as the "flow" of the building isnt really planned. I feel like we missed a lot of things that we basically walked only a room or two away from. I would say if you were planning a trip, look at the specific artworks you might want to make sure you see and find them on the map and go to them for sure. Towards the end of the day when we were thinking we would call it quits my husband took a look at the website and realized we had missed a couple of key paintings we were hoping to see. We walked back to them to find we were only a room or two away at certain points. There is a little fast food type restaurant inside to pit stop.
We came here in July 2022, mostly to see the Egyptian part, which we absolutely loved. It was so well laid out, so much stuff to look at, and very cool and high quality items on display.The museum itself it absurd how big it was. I wouldnt come here with the goal to see everything. Look at specific exhibits that they have on and go see them. We looked at 3 different ones over the course of 3 hours or so, but most of the time spent at the Egyptian section.The museum architecture is unreal, the washrooms are clean and the staff we dealt with were very nice.To me, the MET is a must do while in NYC.Highly recommend.5/5.Follow me for more reviews, photos and great tips.
The best museum in the world, and this is coming from one who has visited 20 of the most famous worldwide. There is a plethora of diverse collections, from the ancient world to modern expositions (fashion, jewelry, warfare, art etc.). We loved this place, as it transports one into a different historical dimension. The way the collections are set up is simply amazing, and the architectural design of the museum is a master-piece in itself.
The Met is hands down the best attraction in New York City! You could easily spend a couple of days in there. We choose the hottest day to visit so as to enjoy the air conditioning in August. Wish we had more than a day to see it all.
Such a wonderful place to visit. Pricing for NY residents and students is what you can pay, suggested price is $30/adult. There are three floors and ~5 additional exhibits that are extra. Ive done one previously and it was very much worth it. Youre able to come back at any point during the day with your ticket purchase. You could spend ALL day here and still not see everything. Audio equipment available for those with disabilities or even just to listen, which allows those to hear exhibit descriptions.
A must see if visiting New York. We spend half a day, but could have easily spend a full day and possibly another day. Museum opens at 10AM and we got there at 10.30AM. There was no line up to get in, but when we left at 3.30PM there was a long line up to get in. Buy your pass at kiosk after you’re inside to avoid the ticket line. If you get a chance, go to the top level in the South West corner of the building and there are some amazing views of Central Park. Will definitely visit again.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT !!!!! SO MUCH TO SEE,, CAN NOT SEE ALL OF IT IN ONE DAY!!!Very well laid out, maps available in many languages, attendants everywhere to help you, explain things, keep people from touching what they shouldnt.Will definitely return!! Was there for 6 hours, only got to see a quarter of the first floor.You can know nothing about art (such as myselfand still enjoy yourself and be able to appreciate the history and art of it all, very good variety of everything.
Do NOT expect to take this all in, in just a few hours. Heck, don’t expect to explore and admire everything in a days time. We could have spend days here and found more to see and experience.This place is built like a maze. You WILL get lost. Get a map, we were stupid to have not done this. Even after looking at one, we still got lost.If you are on the fence about whether you want to go see some dead peoples paintings, let me tell you there is SO much more here than that. Priceless pieces of history, an intimate look into the furnishings of eras from times past. Piece of art and items that changed how we look at, design, and experience the present. Everyone should come here at least once.
Even after having been to the MET before, the sheer size of the building is still incredible. I wish there were more frequent benches since it can become tiring walking for so many hours through the exhibits. There were multiple times I was looking for a bench through multiple rooms only to find ones occupied or just missing.Still an incredible museum to visit. You need more than one day to see everything. Even two days isnt enough unless you speed run every section
Please come and enjoy! Little and huge pieces of history from all around the world. It’s shocking! Take your time, the museum is huge. There is a hidden rooftop bar on the fifth floor, it’s a amazing place for sunset watch on Saturday’s and enjoy beautiful views from the Central Park and the city.
Came here for the first time and loved it so much. The exhibits were beautiful but it’s easy to get lost if trying to get out even with a map. The folks who worked here were nice except for a older white gentleman who was extremely unhelpful and borderline rude compared to how he responded to the Caucasian family before us and how he responded to us. Other than him, we had a good time. The cafe was open but we didn’t go because of the excessive amount of people who were inside of it. Many areas to stop And sit and I really adored how much of a variety the exhibits had: almost every culture was represented in someFashion. We also didn’t get to see the fashion exhibit because of the long line but maybe next time. Or maybe not. It’s best to buy tickets before so you don’t have to deal with the kiosks. Also, bring a bottled water because it’s pricey here. One of the atm’s doesn’t work to get cash. We will def come back but for family’s I do not recommend you bring a stroller. SomeOf the areas you will pass are not very accessible to strollers or wheelchairs and to be honest, there are so many people so close to each other I likely wouldn’t even bring a kid unless you Come when it’s not so crowded.
What more can be said about the true educational and inspirational treasure that is the Met museum. Such a grand experience. I would caution to time your visit away from crowds if you are able. This past July (2022we enjoyed few lines but only because we came before noon and passed through the more popular exhibits before the crowds.
A great museum full of art and its huge. There’s something for everyone no matter the art preference. They offer some food choices, overpriced of course, but that is expected. The only downside is that there are tons of people, making it quite busy. But overall this place is great, just remember to bring your good walking shoes!
Tickets were $30 for my family (adultsand lines were very short. Some locations around paintings or sculptures can grow crowded but it is well worth it. The art in this museum is no joke, I felt inspired looking at the paintings. Expect to spend a long time here, there is so much history to uncover.
Amazing experience. There are so many interesting stories and conversations told by the art here. I highly recommend getting a private tour to truly be able to appreciate everything that is on display. You cannot hope to see everything in one visit so it’s worth planning the sections/periods you’re most interested in and prioritizing them in the time you have.
The Met is the most prestigious museum in the city of New York, therefore the first museum you should visit.Indulge in exploration, examination and adoration in this vast museum, segregated by galleries dedicated to either major regions and ages of the world.Tips:The Egyptian artefact gallery is perhaps the most attractive.I recommend planning at least 4 hours to spend at the museum, and Im not sure even thats long enough cause the museum has such a gigantic collection of objects.The Met has provided a convenient way to purchase your tickets at the museum through self-serve kiosks - where you can select payment methods based on your country of residence.However, if you want to buy tickets online, my understanding is that you must have a credit card with USA billing address. Otherwise, you cannot purchase tickets online. My credit cards issued by Canadian banks didnt work online.
This is one of the biggest and greatest history museums that I’ve visited.There’s a permanent exhibition which includes Roman and Greek museum, Egyptian, medieval, contemporary and modern art. In this part of the museum, which is most of it, you can see from roman sculptures to mommies and egyptian temples, paintings, armors, armament, musical instruments and much more.There’s also a temporary exhibition which varies depending on the dates.Inside the museum there’s also a cafe, store and auditorium.In the highest floor there’s a wonderful terrace with great views to the Central park.The ticket costs 25$, very worthy.Must do
If you love art, then you have to visit this place. You can spend the entire day here — so much to see. Although it is not as expansive as the Louvre, it still has a lot to offer. I have been to the Getty, Guggenheim, Chicago Art Institute, and by far, I think this is the best art museum in the United States. If I have the opportunity to visit NY again, I will definitely visit this museum again.
The Met is one of those places we didn’t get to see. Believe me, I’d have a lot more pictures for you. It’s not within walking distance from where we were staying, and we didn’t realize it was closed on Wednesdays, so I guess we’ll just have to add it to the list for our next trip. The exterior architecture is amazing though, and just walking up on it is a treat.
Great museum with huge collection of paintings sculptures etc… if you love art and history you definitely should drop by. It’s not possible to see everything in one day so you should choose ahead what areas you want to see. You can also go to the roof garden at the top of the museum and have a nice view on Manhattan.
This place is crazy big! So many things to look at that it gets overwhelming. Be sure to see Washington Crossing the Delaware, the Monet, Picasso and Homer collections. The Armor section is fabulous. So much history, makes me feel small but highly appreciative of what people have done through the ages!
The museum was phenomenal! It is huge with art work from many different regions! The museum is divided into regions and there was definitely more than enough to see in each section, so be prepared to walk a lot! (Dont worry though, there are many places to sit)I highly recommend buying tickets online ahead of time because if you wait to buy it in person, be prepared to stand in line for a while.Be sure to check online what unique exhibits they have going on at the time, because they are definitely worth seeing and you dont want to miss out on it!
I was absolutely awestruck by everything there while I was visiting New York. It is such an amazing experience and the home to such beautiful art. It is the pinnacle of art and history, with its rich array of artwork from various cultures, regions, and historical periods. I literally was in the museum all day, but there was still exhibits to be seen; however, they were closed for renovations. I personally could just live there. I will advise to purchase tickets in advance and the line through the main entrance can get pretty long.
My favorite museum in the world. You definitely need a whole day or probably more to be able to see all the pieces they have. I enjoyed the Greek and Egypt exhibits the most. Everything is perfectly conserved and there’s a lot of attention to the layout of the museum. The only thing I didn’t like is that a guard yelled at me when I was taking pictures. I didn’t see any sign. He could have been more gentle.
First time visiting as a family of three, was a great experience we took our stroller all around with us. The staff was very accommodating of us when we needed to use the elevator to access certain exhibitions. Our son was able to run and walk freely, it’s a nice crowd. We’ll come again.
Whats not to love about the Met? You could easily spend several days here and not even begin to scratch the surface of all of the incredible things there are to see and experience. It is truly one of the most exceptional museums I have ever been to, and it is simply a must on anyones list of things to do regardless of whether or not youre a local or youre visiting NYC from somewhere else. One of my favorite things about it is its location, and spending the day exploring the park and visiting the museum is one of the easiest ways to plan a memorable and wonderful day out.
Very cool experience, we went in June during Camp exhibition. I love every moment. The top balcony and view of the city deserves all the love. The roman exhibition, the Beetles, Jimmy Hendrix and rock band was so sick! The MET museum is a must whenever you visit the great city of NYC.
I brought my son to view the Arms and Armor exhibit because he is 10 years old and into medieval knights and swords. We were very impressed by the medieval collection. Such detail and variety and eras. We were also impressed by the Japanese, Chinese, Ottoman, and Syrian collections. I was pleasantly surprised by how rich and varied the entire museums collection is. It is such a large building and so well organized and maintained. Its nice to see how much they focus on education and they let kids under 12 in for free
This has been one of the biggest and one of my favorite museums I’ve visited. In summary, it contains art from all over the world. A large part of the paintings are European. The art includes not just platings but also sculptures and other works of art. Some of the highlights there are a full size Egyptian temple, a weapons and armor gallery, and a diverse Southern Asia gallery with large pieces of art. I would recommend booking tickets in advance and you do have to where a mask everywhere in the museum (except while taking pictures).
The Met is amazing and feels like it should be a whole day if not multi day event! I came around 2 pm on a Friday and left around 5:30 pm for dinner reservations but I only explored a third of the museum! There was so much more that I didnt get to see and will definitely come back next time.I recommend purchasing tickets online so you can enter on the side with no wait.
This was a great museum to visit. We had seen the natural history museum just the other day and were excited to contrast a little.The galleries that the MET had to offer were really impressive. So much history to see through the various items in the museum. Im a medieval fan so I enjoyed seeing all that armor and jousting stuff, swords were really cool.With the artwork, it is incredible to see things in person for once, that you have only seen online ever before. As with all great museums, you could spend a few days reading through and looking at everything. Youll learn something, thats a guarantee! Some of these paintings look photographic portraits!We left around 8p, getting a cab seemed practically impossible, but itll happen after a few minutes!
By far the best the best museum experience we had in New York. Exceptional experience from start to finish. I would go back and I would recommend to anyone of any age. You could spend 2 or more entire days in there and never see it all. I can’t want to go back.
It’s iconic, and as such deserves a visit. Very lovely staff, and great at giving directions🙏🏻😀 I would advise that you plan what you would like to see because there is so much you can easily get sidetracked and may miss a favorite area. Loved the openness of the modern exhibit as well as the fashion exhibit. Incredible works you will not see elsewhere.
One of the most prestigious museum of art in the world. Probably one of the biggest too.Only in New York for a week, we did « all » the museum in almost 4 hours but god … we had to rush. I guess if you take your time you can stay two full days here !Exhibitions are super nice, architecture of the museum is gorgeous.Great great experience, worth the price !
This museum is really amazing and it has a LOT of things to see, but in my opinion, the map was a mess to read and we kept getting lost but thankfully, there is staff everywhere that can help you! We went to the Walt Disney exhibition and it was AMAZING! I loved the Asian area and the Japanese deer made of glass balls. It was pretty interesting to see!
Met is my top 5 fav museum of all time. I recommend coming in the morning so you can ditch the line-up and the crowd. I also recommend a 5 hours minimum to see most of the museum. They have such beautiful collections from all around the world. I recommend take your time and enjoy every minute of ii
You could easily spend multiple days here if you wanted to see everything. The building itself is amazing! We looked at some of the Greek art while we were trying to get a game plan. We decided to focus on the Disney and the Egyptian exhibits and were there for about 3 hours. Im glad we picked a couple of things to focus on otherwise it would have been very overwhelming & we may have been over it by the time we got to the things we actually wanted to see had we not gone there first.
This museum is huge! We spent hours there and certainly didnt see everything! Cant wait to go back and explore the rest!Walking through the British section really did feel like walking through a posh country estate back home.And the Egyptian section was incredible.My personal favourite part was the native American art. It was my first time seeing any native American art. Its truly beautiful.My overall favourite experience though was the kind member of staff who tracked down William the hippo for us! My partner remembered seeing him as a child and wanted to introduce me to their favourite hippo.
One of the great museums of the world, where the building, and design of the galleries is as much of a treasure as the collection itself. The rich collection continues to impress and improve as the museum reassesses its own holdings and presents new viewpoints. Recent examples of this are the contemporary and modern art collection which is now 7 galleries covering 1900-1930. If you are not a huge fan of paintings, the museum has large collections of everything from Greek / Roman statues to Egyptian mummies, to Buddhist and ancient art from Asia to see. Plan a day. Wear comfortable shoes. Make a reservation somewhere relaxing for dinner afterwards. Its a terrific way to spend a day in the city.
