Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met)

It's called "The Met" and it's New York's biggest and best art museum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art should be the only museum you see in New York. With its grand location on the edge of Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a one-stop shop for art from the last 5,000 years. 

The museum has a lot of different kinds of art, from Renaissance works to samurai armor and Impressionist paintings. One minute you're in a European lounge, and the next you're standing under a huge Chinese garden pavilion. Going into a new gallery is like going into a new world. 

But The Met is more than just a place to look. It's an experience. It's a living, changing place—from the rooftop garden (hello, views of the city!) to the fashion shows and concerts that change all the time. 

The Met has something that will stop you in your tracks, whether you like art or are just interested. You'll feel like you've touched a piece of the world, even if you only see a small part of it.
