Wonderful experience. When you get here especially on the weekends there is a long line but rest assured it goes very fast but I don't mind for security sake. There are discounts for new Yorkers and veterans seniors. As soon as you walk in you will be amazed with the elaborate staircase and walking in on the first floor welcome to ancient Egypt. Explore the continents Africa Europe Asia..... my wife and I enjoy it I like the old houses inside she likes the paintings. And a cafe on the first floor and a restaurant on top I believe 5th. It's a oasis in the middle of the big apple 🍎 ..

Man Ray exhibit was fantastic. Ancient Egypt was also very cool. So big, impossible to see all in 1 visit. upstairs musical instruments room was awesome and the armor and swords too. loved the big open natural light room where the Egyptian tomb was. Really great place.

Carved out 3 hours and still barely got through maybe a half(if even that) of the museum. The staff there was great and the student discount of 17$ was pretty great, and I think it’s awesome that New York residents and local students only pay if they want to, that’s a cool perk. One thing is, at times it definitely felt like a maze getting through the galleries.

Visiting The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The museum is breathtaking in both size and scope, offering a rich and diverse collection that spans centuries and cultures. Every exhibit is thoughtfully curated, allowing visitors to feel fully immersed in art and history. From the stunning European paintings to the intricate Egyptian artifacts, each gallery offers something new and awe-inspiring. The museum’s architecture is just as impressive as the art itself, with grand halls and beautiful details that make exploring a true pleasure. The staff and volunteers are welcoming and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience even further. Whether you’re an art lover or just looking for a cultural adventure, The Met is a must-visit destination that leaves a lasting impression. I can’t wait to return!

⭐️ Incredible World-Class Museum in the Heart of NYC. I visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art and bought my ticket at the entrance. It was busy with tourists, but once you step inside the galleries the museum is so huge that the crowds spread out quickly. The exhibits are absolutely incredible — Egyptian mummies, sarcophagi, medieval knights, full suits of armor, ancient weapons, paintings, sculptures, musical instruments, and so much more. The collection is massive and honestly mind-blowing. At some point we were so tired from walking that we had to stop, because this place is endless. It really feels like stepping into ancient Egypt, medieval Europe, and world history all inside Manhattan. There are clean restrooms, plenty of places to rest, and a nice gift shop on the way out. A must-visit NYC museum. Highly recommended! 📸🇺🇸

The guide Alex was very knowledgeable, funny, and welcoming. The MET is huge and I don’t know that we would have gotten as much out of our day there had we not booked this tour.
