Metropolitan Museum of Art, called “The Met” is the largest and most comprehensive art museum in New York City and one of the foremost in the world. The museum was incorporated in 1870 and opened two years later. The complex of buildings at its present location in Central Park opened in 1880.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art may not be NYC’s oldest museum, but it is certainly the largest among Gotham’s art institutions.
The Met no longer offers pay-what-wish admission to anyone who isn’t a New York State resident, but even so, a stroll through the museum’s multitude of treasures is one of the greatest pleasures of being in New York.
