🗣️ Das Metropolitan Museum of Art: Meinungen
Fantastische Erfahrung: Great museum, don't forget to get your map at the entrance or you will get lost! Went the whole day and didn't finish taking a look properly into all the exhibits
Fantastische Erfahrung: Beautiful museum. There’s lots to see, staff is helpful if you have questions. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Fantastische Erfahrung: The museum is so large that I couldn’t finish my tour in just one full day. There are plenty of sections with lots of details to explore. If you enjoy taking photos, don’t forget to bring your power bank; my phone battery ran out within just half a day. The place is definitely worth my time.
Fantastische Erfahrung: One of the best museums! It's so easy to spend an entire day looking through the incredibly beautiful art at the MET. It was fairly crowded, even though it was a weekday, but it didn't change the experience at all. The museum is very spacious and has so many different exhibits. Definitely buy tickets in advance. Absolutely a must visit :)
Fantastische Erfahrung: I had the most amazing time at the MET. I was lucky enough to be invited as a parent chaperone for my sons HS trip- and in doing so checked off an important item from my bucket list! I saw some of my favorite works by some of my favorite artists. Additionally the atmosphere was extravagant and open, the staff and security was warm, knowledgeable and kind. I already cannot wait to return!
Fantastische Erfahrung: What a pleasure visiting this museum. You need a full day to just to have an overview. I would recommend one of the highlight tours (they are not free, last about 3hrs) suitable for those interested in just knowing what is in th collection and taking photos, if you are serious about a specific section in the collection, you will need another couple of hours. I loved the Modern Art Section. Make sure you spare an hour for the roof garden, a highlight of the tour.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Beautiful museum. If you love art, I recommend going over a period of two days, even that is too little time for how much this museum has to offer. As an artist I felt overwhelmed by the amount of art and artifacts there is in the museum, I recommend taking breaks during your visit or to check beforehand and know what galleries you really are interested in seing first. I have visited 4 times, and I still have not been able to see the entire museum.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Since time is limited, we are only able to see a few exhibitions. So much more to see and to learn. Maybe next time. I had the chance to visit the metropolitan museum 10 years ago. It was much easier to observe those precious Egyptian temples and mummies closely.
Fantastische Erfahrung: If you visit this place and don’t find one thing you’re in awe of, there’s something wrong with you. Also if you’re a grown adult walking around touching the artworks - something wrong with you. These artifacts didn’t exist hundreds, even thousands of years for you to touch them! Or for your children to touch them. Don’t bring children here - they’re going to be bored out of their minds. For everyone else, this place is amazing. Probably the most mind blowing collection of art I’ll see in my lifetime. This was my second entire day visit and I’m just barely satisfied that I saw most of the exhibits. I could spend weeks here. The history is just incredible. My favorite parts were examining the jewelry and trinkets, marveling over their detail and trying to figure out how they were made. The furnished European rooms were really cool too. Definitely grab a paper map on your way in.
Positive Erfahrung: I loved the exhibits on the history of instruments. It would have been even better with some more chances to hear how they sound rather than just displaying them.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Gosh I could spend easily 3-4 days at this museum and not see everything It's just huge. And from what I understand it's actually only 1/10 of their collection. The other 90% is in storage somewhere. Reminder to New Yorkers: We get to pay as you wish.
Fantastische Erfahrung: The Metropolitan Museum of Art is incredible! It's one of the largest and most comprehensive art museums in the world. You can spend hours exploring its vast collections, which include everything from ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces. If you love art and history, this place is a must-visit! ️️
Positive Erfahrung: Beautiful museum with a great collection of artwork. I like that they allow you to bring your own water. However, the dining options here are pretty terrible. I also don't really see eye-to-eye with the no backpack on your back rule, which isn't even consistently enforced.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Incredible museum with something for everyone. Although it's called a museum of art, it's just a much a museum of history. In our four hour visit we barely got to see half. I was fine paying to support the museum as an out of state attendee, what a cool benefit for residents to be able to choose their own price. We'll have to come back someday for the other half.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Great museum, not too busy, definitely worth the visit
Fantastische Erfahrung: New York City's fascinating Metropolitan Museum of Art, has ancient and modern art from around the world, including the Middle East, Asia and the Mediterranean. #metropolitanmuseumofart
Fantastische Erfahrung: The Met never disappoints. There's always some little something to be found and discovered even after multiple visits. Go early to avoid the crowds. And if you eat inside, go for the pizza. A slice and side salad for $9 is about as good as it gets in NYC.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Perhaps fav museum in nyc. So thoughtfully designed which beautifully laid out exhibits and as an nyc resident you can pay any amount over $0 which is nice and cool and great. They have a massive Egyptian art wing which rly tickles me. I loved the 200yr old graffiti on the denar tomb. Here r some pics
Fantastische Erfahrung: Words aren't enough to describe what the Metropolitan Museum of art has to offer! For $30, we visited the Met cloisters and the Met on a Saturday. Even though it was crowded when we entered, the Met is so large that we were the only ones in certain areas. Be prepared to walk a lot to cover all the wings of the Met and pick a map at the entrance to avoid getting lost. We spent 4 hours here and completed most of the museum. The Egyptian side was our favourite.. such a vast collection and very well preserved too. The armory and Greek & Roman wings were amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was awesome to sit on the steps of the Met (Gossip girl fan!)
Fantastische Erfahrung: It was amazing, totally worth it! There was no line to enter, the employees were friendly and helpful and the exhibitions were absolutely stunning, and so was the rooftop view. I bought the guided tour and the guide was super nice and explained everything, even though most of the information was written next to the exhibits. Contrary to other reviews, the signs were pretty easy to read and you couldn’t really get lost. I understand some complaints about the signs being only in English, but it’s the universal language after all. Changing the subject, the gift shop had some nice souvenirs with pretty reasonable prices compared to other museums! It was a great experience and a must-see if you’re going to New York!
Fantastische Erfahrung: Check out the new collection in the store ! Got to meet my idol two days ago. Great place for entertainment. Kid friendly. ❤️ Museums are fun! Buy your tickets before arriving. There are always long wait lines on weekends. Being able to capture the moment was great.
Fantastische Erfahrung: We went to view the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" exhibition. It was beautiful. We went on a Monday so it was not too crowded. Buy your tickets online, it's much better and faster than at the museum.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Visited the Sleeping Beauties:Reawakening Fashion exhibit. It's a phenomenal duration- scents, sounds, visual aids, chronograph, and the couture is incredible. Word of warning - most of the pieces have their little cards at the bottom of the alcove, and if you lean too close to read it, the voice goes off 'You are too close to the art, please step away'
Fantastische Erfahrung: Amazing place to see history and art and stroll through beautiful building itself. Good restaurants with also gluten free options. The Sleeping Beauty exhibition was also Great!
Fantastische Erfahrung: Visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art was an unforgettable experience. The museum's grand architecture and vast collections are immediately impressive, yet never overwhelming due to thoughtful layout and helpful staff. I started in the Egyptian Art section, where the Temple of Dendur transported me back in time with its grandeur. The European paintings gallery, featuring works by Van Gogh and Rembrandt, was equally captivating, with Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” leaving a lasting impression. The diversity of the Met’s collections was a highlight. The Asian art galleries offered a serene contrast to the dramatic European pieces, and the Arms and Armor section fascinated me with its historical depth. The temporary exhibitions, like a contemporary fashion exhibit, showcased the Met’s innovative approach to blending history and modernity. Despite its size, the museum is navigable, and the cafes and the peaceful Met Cloisters provide perfect spots for breaks. Overall, the Met is more than a museum; it’s a place where art, history, and culture come alive, offering a deeply enriching experience for every visitor.
Fantastische Erfahrung: The Met is a place that should be visited 2-3 days. They offer different Memberships that may be of help to improve the experience. We did the Global membership, and it was spectacular. The permanent exhibits are amazing. The collections are so spectacular. New and visiting exhibits ...awww! We need to cultivate our lives.
Fantastische Erfahrung: An incredibly beautiful museum. Whether you are thinking of visiting it or not, it is definitely worth going and seeing the wonders of art from all over the world. You can see works of art from European countries, Ancient Egypt, Africa and other empires. The museum is huge. You'll need a full day and a good meal before starting your journey into history. You will be amazed and surprised by what you see inside. On the territory of the museum there is a cafe, places where you can sit and relax, and restrooms. Everything is very worthy and beautiful. Definitely worth visiting this place.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Great museum with a huge selection of sculptures and art. Can get a bit crowded but worth the visit.
Fantastische Erfahrung: A delightful date night at The Met with my daughter! Lots of wonderful things to see and learn a bit about. Recommend to everyone visiting NYC!
Fantastische Erfahrung: we went to see the sleeping beauties exhibit. The first day it opened once you get inside the museum you have to scan the QR code to get on the waiting list. You cannot do it ahead of time you have to do it when you get into the museum we waited for about a half an hour, but it would’ve been longer if we hadn’t gotten there early .
Fantastische Erfahrung: A brush with world history needs minimum two days to get introduced even found an exhibit from my native place tulunadu of India absolutely awestrucing
Fantastische Erfahrung: It is a great historical site to visit. This is one of the must-see places in NY. Breathtaking art collections and exhibitions.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Amazing museum. It's massive so make sure to give yourself plenty of time.
Fantastische Erfahrung: It's my favorite museum in the city. The only downside is that it's always crowded every time. I guess it's worth paying yearly membership if that means you could be in the galleries with your favorite artworks with much fewer people. My absolute favorite is the post impressionism section on the 2nd floor.
Fantastische Erfahrung: One of the largest and best museum in the world! A membership was/is well worth it here. It has the most extensive and variety of exhibits of any museum in NYC. One of my favorite was the “Temple of Dendur” and ancient Egyptian and Greek gifts and collections! Very well preserved and heard it exhibited for over 50 years inside the MET. All the Art & History was very interesting and educational. Enjoyed the European Master art collections, private exhibits, women artists, global artists, and time periods that cover ancient to modern. The roof top exhibit is open as well and has Lauren Halsey’s work up until Oct 22nd, 2023. Enjoyed the views of Manhattan skyline and Central Park up on the roof top. Checked out and liked their many dining options inside. Special thanks to all those working behind the scenes, volunteers, information helpers, guides, and maps (in many languages) available to help navigate easily in this magnificent space filled with monumental precious exhibits. Will be back often with friends and families to share the most incredible art experience!
Fantastische Erfahrung: There is so much more to experience here, this time around, the Greek Mythology statues really appealed to me and brought me back to the loved Greek Mythology course. Looking forward to returning.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Inspiring place! We didn't go all the way to the first floor and spent a wonderful two and a half hours here. Worth coming back again and again! Even if you are far from art and history, this will be useful for your overall development.
Fantastische Erfahrung: We had the best time!! I went with my husband and we did the one hour guided tour and our guide was lovely!! Our favorites were the Monet and Van Gogh collection they had!
Fantastische Erfahrung: the place is well organized,the presentation of the art pieces is more than wonderful,the Egyptian part is the biggest ,it have to take more than one day to cover it properly!
Fantastische Erfahrung: One of the best museums I have visited in my life. There is so much to see and hard to do in one visit.
Fantastische Erfahrung: I could spent a whole day in here. There are just so much to see.. paintings, armors and weapons, ceramic from long ago, part of tombs, etc etc. The food courts are a little pricy though.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Beautiful museum. We took our 11th graders to see the Harlem Renaissance Exhibit. Absolutely stunning! Will definitely be going back to check out some of the other exhibits.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Always worth a visit. Must see the expansive Egyptian artifact collections! It’s a lot to take in so pick a few favs and be sure to check out the roof garden for the views
Fantastische Erfahrung: It is no surprise why they call 5th Avenue as the Museum Mile near 85th Street in NYC. You won’t be able to cover the entire museum in a single visit unless you got enough time. Museum is free for the people coming through select Libraries with an advance pass. In addition I heard the entry fees is kind of negotiable. Pay what you can.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Truly rich! As an Egyptian, I was surprised by the number and diversity of monuments they got in exhibition. I spent 5 hours touring this place, and it was not enough. Also, I cannot recall any other tradition not represented in the museum.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Museum was amazing. My 2 yr old and 10 mo old absolutely loved the exhibits and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We spent hours there and still didn't get to see everything.
Fantastische Erfahrung: The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a wide variety of cultural relics, exhibits, and artworks. You need to do a little research to find what you want to see and the persistence and passion in your heart.
Fantastische Erfahrung: I am so glad we visited the Met on our NYC trip. It's the best museum that I've seen. Their Egyptian collection is mind blowing. It's such a large exhibit, easily worth spending a day in itself. The European painting collection was great too. They have a large Degas, Manet and Van Gough collection.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Overall experience was amazing: Metropolitan is a great museum with a lot of exhibitions. The best place to go on a rainy day in Manhattan. The line outside was moving fast and their online ticket purchase experience was very convenient. We were attending the newest Sleeping Beauties exhibition, the wait list was nicely organized so we were able to browse around without spending hours in the line. They just sent us text msg when it was our turn to enter. The staff at this exhibition was rude and barely patient. Maybe the first days after opening were stressful and overwhelming, but it was noticeable and unpleasant to interact with them.
Fantastische Erfahrung: As a huge Ancient Egyptian culture nerd, I found the selection of stuff to view here was wonderful! Too much to explore the whole museum thoroughly in a day, pick what you want to see the most and start there.
Fantastische Erfahrung: I went with my sister who is a member of the MET. I have trouble walking a lengthy time or standing for long periods. We were able to acquire one of the museum's wheelchairs. We were thrilled to discover that the Tiffany exhibit was opening today for members. We enjoyed the exhibit and enjoyed sharing reactions with other viewers. We then went to see another exhibit, Hidden Portraits. It was a wonderful experience. The museum was filled with many people enjoying the art. A perfect afternoon in NYC.
Fantastische Erfahrung: An amazing collection. Particularly enjoyed the immersive Sleeping Beauty exhibit. Absolutely incredible and imaginative the way they brought the garments to life!! I hope to go back someday to take in some of the other galleries.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Absolutely overwhelming. Gigantic collection of (classic) art. When we went there, there was a special exhibition of van Gogh paintings featuring cypresses. While one van Gogh featuring a cypress might be impressive, 40 in one room, lent from all over the world, are absolutely breathtaking. Don’t miss the roof terrace!!!
Positive Erfahrung: The ground floor Egyptian walls and chambers are very exciting to see in person. There are a lot of models, tombstones offering tables etc. on display. I found the contemporary art also quite alluring however the other exhibits (Asian art) seemed less numerous. The European paintings I skipped. Quite a lot of room furniture from different ages and French art and furniture from Versailles also visible.
Fantastische Erfahrung: If you visit NYC you have to go to The Met! No other museum can compete with the grandness of the exhibits. They are designed to make you feel a part of the history. You can easily spend an entire day there.
Fantastische Erfahrung: The MET is a must see if you have any appreciation for Art on any level. The museum is huge! It is a bit difficult to navigate as a novice, since the museum has so many different areas and genres of art. You cannot easily get from one to another. The collections there are priceless and stunning to see. There is a little of everything there, from ancient Egyptian mosaics, pieces of jewelry and solid golden sandals worn by the rulers to recreations of their tombs and hieroglyphics to ancient armor and weaponry with gold and silver engraved detail that is stunning and mind boggling in its beauty and detail, to Greek and Roman statues painstakingly repaired and restored, to all the classic artists and masters of Europe from Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, and Seurat and others. The history of the pieces is as fascinating as the pieces themselves. There are also collections of ancient Asian art, Chinese, Japanese and Indian to see. You could easily spend a day here and not see everything if reading about each piece, maybe a week. It is incredible. Where else in the world can you see a room full of Monet or Van Gogh paintings and see suits of armor that were Henry the VIII's? You can literally walk right up to priceless works of art. The museum gets very busy, so early is usually better. Buy tickets in advance to save yourself the wait in line. It borders Central Park which is gorgeous in its own right.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Worth visiting here in New York. Buy tickets ahead of time as queue is always long. Fantastic souvenir shop. Nice street shopping just beside the MET. Can get really crowded from all the big tour buses
Fantastische Erfahrung: Wonderful place with beautiful and exquisite pieces. Plan a whole day here and try to go when it is not a holiday or rainy out. Bad weather pushes people inside. If you are planning on visiting more than once or going to the Cloisters, buy the global membership - good for you and a guest over 18 PLUS your children under 18. $90 for one year vs. $30/person per museum.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Thank you for such an amazing place right here in our backyard. So much to see, this time was the impressionists and Indian skies exhibits. If you can come back a few days and not try to take it all at once. It’s too much.
Fantastische Erfahrung: A vast and ample setting where you journey artistically from ancient to contemporary times. Admission for NY'ers is "pay what you wish," but "suggest" a US$30 donation. Reservations are not mandatory, but highly encouraged to avoid the lengthy line.
Fantastische Erfahrung: PREPARE…️ to hear some GUSHING!! Goodness this place couldn’t be any better. I’m in love the cocoa as that ginger would say. Had a chance to mope around these parts and was served a fine selection of historical and hysterical art (there’s some laughs in here). Check it out if you have a moment. You’ll like what you’ll find. xx THANKS
Fantastische Erfahrung: Wow! This might just be my favourite museum I've visited. It's the perfect blend of art and history suited for history buffs like me. You'll need a day or more to actually see everything at the Met. I spent the whole Saturday but could only cover like 60%. It's hugeeeee!
Fantastische Erfahrung: The single best museum I have ever been to, you can spend a whole day getting lost here! I especially recommend bringing your own pair of noise-cancelling headphones and using the Bloomberg app as a guide!
Fantastische Erfahrung: Can The Met ever disappoint me? Nope, never. As a native New Yorker, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an institution that I believe everyone should see when they're in NYC. The vast collections and rotating exhibitions are dynamic. You could visit this museum a hundred different times, and you'll notice something new each and every time. The works here are priceless, stretching from every corner of the Earth. It truly is a global museum, filled with the most surreal works of art throughout history. I also appreciate how they separate wings based on regions and countries; if you want to geek out on something specific, you can. There are also so many wonderful learning opportunities through guided tours and events. The wealth of knowledge at The Met is unparalleled. I will definitely be coming back to The Met very soon to explore more of the collections! My favorite sections of the museum: 131 Temple of Dendur, 700 The Charles Engelhard Court, 306 Medieval Treasury, 548 European Sculpture, 1700–1900, 217 Chinese Courtyard in the Style of the Ming Dynasty. Reminders: The food is pricey and not the greatest quality but you're coming to The Met for legendary art, not legendary food. If you don't buy tickets online, you may have to wait in a line which can be annoying so if you can afford to, it's best to purchase online so you skip the lines. There are also an endless number of bathrooms, and seating areas so if you get tired from walking you can easily take a break. Recommendation: There is a lot to see here, so if you like something specific I highly recommend you check out the museum map first and circle the sections you want to prioritize. You should also give yourself enough time to visit!
Positive Erfahrung: This museum is super nice! I went with some friends and there was barely a wait for anything besides the cafe that is a little overpriced but not too bad. The art is gorgeous but note you will need about 5/6 hours on an average weekday to see everything. Overall I recommend
Fantastische Erfahrung: Unbelievable selections from throughly history and the world. Truly a world class museum worth checking off of your bucket list. Be aware that one day isn’t enough time to see everything. It is definitely a two day minimum if you want to take everything in. Also, I wouldn’t schedule any activities after visiting because you will put in a lot of steps in this place.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Nice museum with lots to look at. Good way to spend a rainy day. The entrance to the museum was packed with a line to buy tickets. You can buy your tickets online and go to the entrance next to the stairs with a red door, which is a lot faster. I'm not sure why they don't have signs pointing this out since people were lining up and they didn't know why. The museum has a security check (water was fine) and a coat/bag check which was great since we didn't have to carry our travel bag with clothes around. It can be a bit crowded at the entrance with tourists and crowded in the food areas which we're pretty over priced. The layout was a bit hard to follow since there were many wings, you'll double back on some rooms. If you cross the entrance area, be prepared to rescan your tickets to get back inside the other wings. It's a very educatedal place with lots of interesting plaques to read. Our favorite area was the medieval arms and weapons wing, as well as the Egyptian wing.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Accessibility for my son in a wheelchair was very much appreciated. The display featuring Harlem Renaissance was our favorite, and I wish it were permanent. It was amazing to see works in person that one only views in books or films. We arrived late in the afternoon: I wished we’d had longer to stay,
Fantastische Erfahrung: Visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City was an extraordinary experience. The museum boasts an impressive array of exhibits that cater to diverse interests, from rare and meticulously preserved pieces to an incredible collection of historic guns and swords that are a must-see for any enthusiast. Despite the crowds, the staff was efficient and adept at managing the flow of visitors, ensuring everyone could enjoy their visit without feeling overwhelmed. Although there was a bit of confusion regarding the app check-in for the fashion exhibit, which required some visitors to queue up twice, it was a minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless visit. The Met is an iconic destination that offers a rich tapestry of art and history, making it an essential visit for anyone in New York City.
Positive Erfahrung: If you like old and ancient, you'll love it! I did! The price of museums is...sad and uncomfortable. It is not accessible to everyone, but, neither is food and health care, so perhaps complaining about museums isn't the priority. Back to the topic: The displays are well developed and engaging; I was enthusiastically inspired throughout my three hours. Continue winning and I shall visit again!
Fantastische Erfahrung: Enjoyed an afternoon at the Met! The new exhibit Sleeping Beauty Reawakening " was awesome complete with sights and smells! There was over an hour wait for that exhibit so make sure you allow time. There's so much to see at the Met and there's a roof top spot for awesome views of the skyline!
Fantastische Erfahrung: What can you say about one of the most famous museums in the world?? So beautiful, so much to see, you can’t possibly see it all in one day! I went on Thursday, the museum was quite crowded. My group participated in the free tour of European Art, our delightful tour guide delivered lots of knowledge to us thank you thank you!!
Fantastische Erfahrung: The Met is among my favorite museums in NYC. There’s always something new to explore, and my visits are engaging no matter how many times I visit. Be sure to sign up for the special exhibits using the QR codes when you enter so you can plan your visit better. (And I’d suggest visiting on a weekday, because it gets far too crowded on weekends. Note that they have extended opening hours on Fridays and Saturdays though.)
Fantastische Erfahrung: Met Museum is spectacular! Fantastic exhibition, great interior design, and well-organized collections. I was stunned by the exquisite details of the items I’ve observed. Curation is top notch. Would love to visit the place again to witness all the beautiful things I missed.
Fantastische Erfahrung: What a phenomenal museum. This is an absolute MUST if you’re in New York. Make sure you allocate at least 4 hours for your visit to get the most out of it. We had a flight to catch, so we spent about 2 hours there and were able to see ~50% of the museum at a quick pace. We were not necessarily stopping to read descriptions like we would normally do just because we were in a bit of a rush. Absolutely hope to come back here again some day, it is by far one of the coolest museums in America.
Fantastische Erfahrung: You can spend the whole day here. In most cases you have to pay to get in, even if you have a Go City or New York pass. A lot of things to see, I can recommend it to everyone who loves art and history from all over the world. You need a reservation for it the best time is at 10:00 AM
Fantastische Erfahrung: As a native New Yorker, I've been to the MET more times than I can count, and it never gets old. This iconic museum is a treasure trove of art, history, and culture that feels new with every visit. Whether you're into ancient Egyptian artifacts, Renaissance paintings, or modern American art, the MET has something that will catch your eye. One of the coolest parts about living in New York State is that the price of admission to the MET is suggested for locals with an ID. That means you can pay what you wish and enjoy some of the world's most incredible art collections. It's a fantastic deal that makes art accessible to everyone, and it’s a privilege that I encourage all New Yorkers to take advantage of. I’ve found that the best time to visit the MET is right when it opens. The galleries are quieter, the light is beautiful, and you can enjoy the art in a more intimate setting before the crowds roll in. It's peaceful and allows you to really engage with the art without the distraction of heavy foot traffic. The museum itself is a work of art, with grand architecture and beautifully curated spaces. It’s not just a place to see art; it’s a place to experience it. Whether you're wandering through the impressively detailed period rooms or taking in the panoramic views of Central Park from the rooftop garden, the MET offers a unique blend of art and ambiance that is hard to find anywhere else. If you're a New Yorker or just visiting, the MET is a must-see. Bring your state ID, get there early, and prepare for an unforgettable experience steeped in art and history. Trust me, it's worth setting your alarm for.
Fantastische Erfahrung: No words to describe this place. You're but going to cover everything in one trip, so enjoy one or two exhibits and come back another time.
Positive Erfahrung: Seriously needs its own day to complete the entire thing. Of all the times I’ve gone, I still feel I haven’t seen it all! Something new and amazing is found everytime.
Fantastische Erfahrung: AMAZING museum. I recommend going on a weekday when it’s less crowded. I went on a Friday evening which was also okay. However, the museum is humongous and needs 2+ days to finish especially if you want to go in detail and take in all the pieces. The gift shop is also huge and has lots of amazing stuff, great pr w obviously high prices. Basically free for ny/nj residents (you have to pay at least 0.01$). They also have free events/tours if you’re interested.
Fantastische Erfahrung: It’s HUGE and I would highly recommend anyone who loves art to check out here! I could stay here for over a week and probably couldn’t see enough!
Fantastische Erfahrung: A must-go place for art lovers. Very rich collection of paintings, sculptures, furniture and ceramic wares, all kinds of beautiful stuff.
Fantastische Erfahrung: One of the highlights of the city. The museum has a vast collection, so pick what you want to see. Can definitely recommend the Egypt section and the Middle-Eastern art.
Positive Erfahrung: Great museum but $30 entrance for non-locals feels excessive. The Harlem Renaissance exhibit is highly recommended.
Fantastische Erfahrung: One of the Best Museums you can ever visit. They even have a café to get nice refreshments. Available restrooms as well
Fantastische Erfahrung: Great organization, amazing exibitions. Gigantic museum, full of wonders and meticulously selected displays. Will return for sure. 4 hours were barely enough for one part of the museum.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Excellent museum. I recommend free guided tours. Guides are super nice, and they give you extra insight
Positive Erfahrung: Great museum with lots to see but can get very very busy Buy tickets on live to save time but you can also make purchases at the front desk Get a map And plan what you’d like to see whether it be Van Gough, Italian marble statues or Egyptian tombs and mummies
Fantastische Erfahrung: incredible, world-class museum. fantastic collection spanning a remarkable range of time and encompassing some of my favorite works of art. can’t recommend enough!
Fantastische Erfahrung: Incredible museum! Enormous amount of artifacts from thousands of years ago. They are beautifully set up with stands and lighting that just make the pieces come to life. My mind is completely blown by the amount of history I learned in one building, we booked a guided tour and that was amazing we were able to learn so much more. I want to go to MET every time I’m in New York. Extremely gorgeous facility with remarkable information. Tickets are $30 for adult which I find very expensive, but I was not dissatisfied with my experience.
Fantastische Erfahrung: We saw the museum and the Van Gough exhibit that was there. I had been to the Vang Gough Museum in Amsterdam, but never got to see Starry Night. I ended up liking other cypress paintings more, but I was honored to get to see it.
Fantastische Erfahrung: What an amazing museum! Different floors, and a restaurant with terrace as well. I've been dreaming to see this paintings for so long and I finally made my dream come true. Follow giorgias.travels on Instagram for more!
Fantastische Erfahrung: Best art museum in America. However, I lament that it is pathetically unmarked, thereby impossible to find particular studios. Grateful for the knowledgeable attendants everywhere. Please note the tiny little Madonna icon that, at $45mm, is the single most expensive acquisition in the entire building.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Unfortunately I can give only 5⭐️ . It took me 4 days to see almost everything. But the art and the atmosphere is incredible and indescribable. Don't avoid museums shops
Fantastische Erfahrung: There's so much to see, it would take a whole day! Great artifacts. Providing a clearly established process on accessing the self-guided audio tour, versus participating with a group tour, versus just navigating the museum on your own would be helpful. I appreciated the museum sharing this important piece of history regarding Central Park.
Fantastische Erfahrung: I am just very happy they close at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Got there Saturday around 8pm, saw so many beautiful paintings, the best place to be indoors when you are in NYC.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Always a great spot to visit when in the city. Not too pricey (kids are free!) and there are always new and unique exhibits to see. I also like how they don't force you through their gift shop on the way out.
Fantastische Erfahrung: Buying tickets there was not a problem this evening only 5-10 minutes. The Metropolitian Museum is incredibly large, and the displays of art are amazing. More to see on three upper floors and a nice concert was there that made it even nicer.
Fantastische Erfahrung: It costs $30 USD for me, a tourist, adult who is a non student. If you have never been to the MET, make sure you set aside one full day for it, to thoroughly go through the exhibits and read the details. It’s informative and interesting. And btw, setting aside one full day is a stretch if you intend to go through all the exhibits. I covered only a few in a span of 5 hours. In all, it’s worth the $30 USD.
Fantastische Erfahrung: The museum is so big that you cant even explore everything in a day. I got lost in this museum so many times trying to find my friends. The fashion area is locked away, and hard to find, but we eventually found it, and it was so busy but worth the hype. Definitely do research on how to find stuff before coming here.
