The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the largest and most visited art museum in the United States. While bigger doesn’t always mean better, the Met is undoubtedly one of the best in the country.
The Met’s thematically organized permanent collection has nearly 2 million pieces, and its ever-changing calendar of temporary exhibitions is a hit with regular visitors.
The Met is a treasure trove of priceless works that form a chronology of world history, with collections that include everything from classical era sculpture to 20th century masterpieces. The famous European Paintings Collection boasts names like Rembrandt, El Greco, Titian, Caravaggio, Van Gogh and almost every other master you can think of.
Whatever interests you, whether it’s modern art, American classics, antique armor and weapons (we can see you!) Or relics from ancient Egypt, you’ll find a corner of the Met to get lost in.
