Enjoy it while visiting New York City in New York
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, also known as “the Met,” is the most renowned museum in the United States. It houses an extraordinary collection of masterpieces from various parts of the world. Notably, it holds impressive exhibits from ancient Egypt and classical antiquity. Exploring the Met is a unique art encounter that sets it apart from other museums. Due to its vastness, it’s practically impossible to fully experience everything the museum has to offer in just a day, or even two.
Make sure to pay a visit to the permanent collections at this amazing place. On the first floor, you’ll find Greek and Roman art as well as Egyptian art. If you head to the second floor, you can explore the fascinating Islamic art exhibits, which are highly recommended by many visitors. Even if you’ve been to the Met before, you can still plan your next trip around the semiannual exhibits by the Costume Institute. Another option is to check out the Met Cloisters, a separate museum situated in Fort Tyron Park that focuses on the art and architecture of medieval Europe.
