About this place

The Met is the most visited museum in the United States. Its galleries range from an entire Egyptian temple, the Temple of Dendur, to arms and armor, European paintings and the American Wing.

Your ticket also covers The Met Cloisters, its medieval branch in northern Manhattan, on the same date. Plan several hours and pick a few wings rather than trying to see everything.
