Customer Reviews
The Divine Egypt Exhibit at the Met was fabulous. If you have even a slight interest in archaeology and history, you must visit. Located on the second floor, there was so much to take in. The artifacts, sculptures, and scrolls were fascinating. I enjoyed learning about the ancient Egyptian world and how humans interacted with their gods and goddesses. One thing I would suggest is having a tour guide, as it would have helped us to take in the information more deeply. This is not a one-day trip unless you’re ready to wear yourself out. The museum is huge and like a maze, where you could easily get lost without a map. Although we passed through various sections of the museum, we didn't get to see everything. So make sure to plan your visit accordingly, especially if you’re visiting from out of town. Looking forward to returning to see what other works of art they have on display.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was an incredible experience—like walking through the history of the world in one place, from Sudan to Chile and everywhere in between. If you’re planning a visit, set aside at least five hours; the museum is vast, and rushing it would be a mistake. Beyond the classical and historical collections, there are also some delightfully “funny” and abstract works that really stretch your imagination—pieces like I Dreamt I Saw Figure 5 in Gold demand creativity and patience to truly appreciate. It’s the kind of museum that challenges how you see art, culture, and time itself.
Visiting the Met was pure joy! I truly left my heart there. The Greek, Persian, Egyptian, African and Native Americans sections were exceptional and deeply inspiring, making the experience feel immersive and timeless. Even during the busy end-of-year rush, the coat-check system was well organized and helpful, which I truly appreciated. An unforgettable museum and one I will gladly return to.
