Breaking Down: the Metropolitan Museum of Art

How to see one of the world's largest museums a little bit at a time

TripSavvy / Kelsea Watkins 

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Louvre, the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are among the biggest museums in the world. If you try to visit one of these giants in an afternoon, you will quickly get hungry, tired and before long, miserable. (Seriously, people give themselves a week to explore Disney World.)  Breaking Down is a series of articles designed to help you navigate the world's biggest museums with mini-visits.

Let's talk about the  Metropolitan Museum of Art . 

The Met defines our very idea of an art museum. The entire span of eastern and western art is held under one roof while two branch museums, the Cloisters Museum & Gardens and the forthcoming Met Breur , offer more focused visits. Partially inside Central Park with its grand entrance on Fifth Avenue, a visit to the Met is also a quintessential New York experience. So how can one best experience the Met with only a short amount of time to do so?

Go on Friday or Saturday Evening and Wander

The Met is open seven days a week from 10am-5:30 pm, but on Friday and Saturday night it's open until 9 pm. Right around 6 pm, the crowds start to thin and a small orchestra begins to play classical music on the balcony. This is the perfect time to wander through the Met without any particular agenda. Some of the galleries close on late-nights due to staffing, but the Met is so stuffed with treasures that a wandering first-time visitor might not even notice. 

Pay a visit to Madame X in the American Wing and see if you notice the place just below the shoulder where her dress strap once fell before it was deemed too scandalous and the artist, John Singer Sargent, was asked to change it. During the day, you'll rarely get to see Madame X without a crowd of admirers, but at night, she's all yours.

Duck underneath the main staircase where you'll discover an exhibition of Egyptian jewelry, ivory, and glass from the Byzantine era.

Ask a gallery guard to point you toward the Chinese Court Yard in the Asian Art galleries. Once you do, you'll feel as though you stepped out of the museum and into the Ming Dynasty.

I especially recommend wandering through the Met on a Friday or Saturday night if you are on a date. There are plenty of terribly romantic places to steal a kiss. (I especially recommend the Gubbio Studiolo .)

Pick One Section and Spend Your Entire Visit There

The Met is an encyclopedic museum. Each section has its own department of curators and experts which means whatever section you choose is like visiting a museum within a museum.

Have you been fascinated with ancient Rome ever since you saw Gladiator ? Finally, want to see those Monet Water Lillies in real life? Enter the museum through the main entrance, grab the map from the information desk right in the center, and pick the section that most interests you. A couple of focused hours with the mummies will ultimately be more rewarding than trying to take in a bunch of galleries that might not really interest you. Enjoy yourself and don't turn the experience into the cultural equivalent of eating your broccoli.

Break up Your Visit With Lunch, Dinner, or a Picnic in Central Park

My friends are often surprised when I get tired in the Met before they do.

"Isn't this like your favorite place?" they'll ask. Sure, but I get hungry, tired and start to feel that nagging sense to check my Twitter just like everyone else. Fortunately, the Met has plenty of places to stop and refresh yourself. If you're hungry for a serious lunch, visit the cafeteria . It's often crowded but offers the best value when you really just need to eat. For a light lunch, afternoon tea or glass of wine, visit the lovely Petrie Court Cafe overlooking Central Park. If you visit during the summer months be sure to have a martini at the Roof Garden Cafe. (On Friday and Saturday nights, the Roof is teeming with single New Yorkers.)

Finally, step outside for awhile and enjoy Central Park. You may leave and enter all day as long as you keep your receipt. I recommend a quick trip over to Eli Zabar's Eat where you can get classic New York bagels and a variety of shmears. Bring some napkins, a blanket and stretch out on the grass just beyond the Met's walls. And don't worry if you lose your receipt. The Met's admission policy is pay-what-you-wish so a donation in any amount is acceptable.

Is a Tour of the Met Even Worth It?

Carissa Chesanek Last Updated: December 30, 2022

The Metropolitan Museum of Art (or the Met) is world-renowned with a vast art collection that spans over 5,000 years. This sprawling museum is one of the most visited, and you may be wondering: what’s the best way to see it all? We’re here to help you decide if a guided tour of the Met is the way for you!

Pro Tip: Planning your trip to NYC? Bookmark this post in your browser so you can easily find it when you’re in the city. See our guide to New York City for more planning resources, our best MET and NYC tours for a memorable trip, and the top things to do in NYC .

Why You Should Take a Met Tour

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest museums of its kind. Measuring 2.2 million square feet (according to the website), there’s a lot of ground to cover! The Met has been showcasing rare artwork from around the globe since it was founded in 1870. It features permanent and rotating exhibits, film screenings, live performances, and more.

The space is lit up with over 60,000 lights, ensuring you get the best possible view of everything on display. The website states that the Met has more lights combined than the lights seen on that sparkly New Year’s Eve ball that drops in Times Square!

There’s a lot to do and see in this museum. This is why many choose to take a guided tour of the Met . Read on to learn more about what a tour of the Met includes and why you might want to take one.

Top Areas You’ll Visit During a Guided Met Tour

Greek and Roman Art

The first exhibit you will likely encounter on your tour is the Greek and Roman Art located on the first floor. Here, you will see classical art from Greece and Italy with grand marble statues and bronze portrait busts along with some items made out of bone.

There are over 30,000 different works on display here, dating all the way back to the Neolithic period.

In Praise of Painting: Dutch Masterpieces at the Met

The Dutch paintings located at the Met are pretty impressive as some have been on the walls since around the time the museum originally opened. You’ll see paintings from all the greats, including Rembrandt and Johannes Vermeer.

There are sixty-seven different works in this current exhibit that all relate to themes regarding religion and women. This is where you’ll be able to check out Rembrandt’s famous  Apollo and Aurora and Margareta Haverman’s  A Vase of Flowers , the only painting in the Met that was created by an early modern Dutch woman.

Egyptian Temple

While you might not spend a lot of time with Egyptian art during this tour, you will get a chance to check out the impressive 2,000-year-old Egyptian Temple of Dendur located in the Sackler Wing.

The temple used to be located along the Nile River and had to be taken down and recreated when it was brought to the Met. The wing actually has its own replica of the Nile River which you’ll see directly in front of the temple. It’s a fascinating look at ancient history in a modern city.

Modern and Contemporary Art

Whether you fancy a look at abstract expressionism or French modernism, The Met has a wing for you. The Modern and Contemporary Art collection is where you’ll find famous pieces like Jackson Pollock’s Autumn Rhythm or Picasso’s Gertrude Stein .

There are also sculptures and other pieces carefully selected to celebrate artists from areas ranging from South America to North Africa. While modern art might not be everyone’s cup of tea, the artwork here is incredibly diverse and will come to life as your guide helps explain the history behind these notable pieces.

Not ready to book a tour? Check out our  MET Guide for more resources.

Why Seeing the Met Is A Good Idea

We now know how cool the Met is and all the important exhibits and artwork it holds. But why should you schedule in time to check it out when you’re visiting New York City? We have a few good reasons you’ll want to explore the Met.

Prime Location

The Met is located on Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side. It can be easily reached by subway getting off the 86th street station with a ten minute walk to the museum. But what we really love about this location is that Central Park is in the museum’s backyard. You can enjoy killer views from The Met, especailly when you hit up the rooftop bar. And since you’re so close to the park, you can easily head over there after you finish exploring everything the museum has to offer.

It’s Famous

This is not just your everyday art museum. The Met is known for having some of the most rare and unique artwork from around the globe and it is one of the largest around. However, it is also home of the Met Gala where all the celebrities hit those iconic steps in some of the most daring fashion trends. You know you want to walk those very steps Beyoncé did.

Tours Make it Easy

Sure, you can check out The Met on your own. However, since it’s so large with many exhibits to see, it can be hard to know where to go. That’s where a guided tour comes in to help. You won’t have to navigate this massive space on your own but instead will have a tour guide show you around. What’s even better is you’ll be able to learn more about the museum and the art collections, picking up interesting facts you wouldn’t uncover otherwise.

Fun for All

Whether you are traveling with your family, friends, or a significant other, a tour of the Met is great for just about anyone. It’s informative, educational, and fun. Plus, you’ll work up a big appetite walking from room to room. And when that hunger strikes, we have great recommendations for restaurants near the Met for you to check out.

Why A Met Tour Is Worth It

Now that you know why you should visit the Met, you may be wondering: is a guided tour worth it? We say, it sure is! Here’s why it’s a good idea to take a guided tour rather than exploring the Met on your own.

Small Group Tour

With a tour of no more than 15 people, you can enjoy a more intimate experience without getting lost in a large group. You can interact with your guide and ask questions if any should come up during your tour. Another bonus with a small group is your tour can be tailored to what everyone wants to see and do as the guide will ask if there are any preferences before you begin exploring the exhibits.

Skip the Line

Rather than waiting in that long line to get into the Met, you will meet your guide outside away from the crowd. From there, you will skip the line and head straight into the museum—that’s the advantage of a pre-paid ticket and a local guide to lead the way!

Stories and Histories

Not only is your guide knowledgeable about the Met itself, but they have the inside scoop on the art you see. For example, our tour guide told us about the history behind Vincent van Gogh’s friendship with the French Post-Impressionist artist Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin. Did you know Gauguin may have been the person who cut off van Gogh’s ear? We didn’t either.

The Met has so much to see and lots of interesting tidbits to learn. When you explore this space with a guide, you’ll not only see so much more in your three hours but you’ll understand what it is you’re looking at and why it’s so significant to the art world. Plus, you have your ticket for the entire day. Once the tour is over, you can continue to explore any areas you may not have seen during the tour.

The Met adds free virtual tours and games to increase access to art amid pandemic

Itching for some fine art?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Verizon launched  The Met Unframed on Monday, an immersive virtual art and gaming experience. 

It features "more than a dozen one-of-a-kind digitally rendered galleries and nearly 50 works of art from across The Met's vast collection," aiming to increase access to art in the time of coronavirus.

Visitors to  TheMetUnframed.com can explore the digital galleries and play games that  unlock augmented reality versions of the art, reports the Asbury Park Press , which is part of the USA TODAY Network. Games including trivia questions, riddles and a “Zoom and Spot” challenge encourage visitors to engage with the art, while one called “Analysis” uses infrared and XRF conservation documentation scans of paintings to allow users a peek at underdrawings and other hidden details in well-known Met works.

“Our mission since The Met’s founding 150 years ago has been to connect people to art and ideas, and to one another — something we’ve found to be more powerful than ever over these last months of isolation and uncertainty," said Max Hollein, director of The Met. 

"The Met Unframed brings the museum to audiences wherever they are in an innovative viewing experience, in which users can virtually visit iconic spaces and engage with The Met’s masterpieces, learn more about the works in a playful way and through AR, and enjoy bringing the art into one’s own surroundings," Hollein continued. "The Met Unframed expands the ways in which we can understand, experience and appreciate art."

The custom-designed digital galleries were rendered exclusively for The Met Unframed and evoke or nearly replicate spaces from across the Museum. The virtual layout creatively arranges a sampling of galleries that display art from across millennia and from around the world, allowing the Museum — and the collection — to be experienced like never before. 

Visitors to the The Met Unframed are welcomed into a rendering of the museum’s iconic Great Hall, where Kent Monkman’s monumental diptych mistikôsiwak: "Wooden Boat People" hangs, and from there visitors can explore themes including Power, Home, Nature and Journey.

To access The Met Unframed, visit  TheMetUnframed.com  on any 4G or 5G smart device. It is available for free for a limited five-week run.

U.S. News Insider Tip: Come for the art, stay for the rooftop cocktails. A seasonal rooftop garden bar offers views over Central Park, which is especially coveted at sunset. The roof garden stays open into the evening on Friday and Saturday. – Jessica Colley Clarke

No museum in the United States is as celebrated as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Spilling over with masterpieces from all over the world, including notable collections from ancient Egypt and classical antiquity, "the Met" is an art experience unlike any other, and like much in New York, it's impossible to see all the museum has to offer in one day (or even two days, for that matter). 

Tips for visiting

If you've never been there, then you should definitely visit its permanent collections (the first floor's Greek and Roman art and Egyptian art, and the second floor's Islamic art exhibits are especially popular with travelers). If you've already visited the Met a time or two, then plan your next trip around the semiannual exhibits by the Costume Institute, or head to the Met Cloisters, an offshoot museum located in Fort Tyron Park that's dedicated to medieval Europe's art and architecture.

Travelers adore the Met, calling the facilities and artwork first-class. Many suggest consulting the museum's website to strategize which galleries you'd like to see ahead of your visit to make the most of your time here. To make a day of your visit, consider dining at one of the museum's top-notch eateries, or enjoying a photo-worthy sunset from the rooftop garden bar.

How to get to the Met

You can take the 4, 5 or 6 train to the 86th Street station; the museum is located along Fifth Avenue , on the eastern perimeter of Central Park .

Hours and Tickets

You can visit the museum Sunday through Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; on Fridays and Saturdays, it welcomes visitors from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission to the main building and The Cloisters costs $30 for adults, $22 for seniors and $17 for students; kids younger than 12 can enter for free with a paying adult. Tickets are valid for entrance to both locations for the day of your visit. You can purchase tickets online or in person. If you are a resident of New York state or a student in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, the admission is "pay what you wish." These tickets must be purchased in-person with a valid ID. There are several eateries on-site, as well as gift shop. Be sure to visit the art museum's website for additional information, including upcoming exhibits.

More Best Things To Do in New York City

#1 Central Park

This part-park, part-museum, part-concert hall swallows central Manhattan, and many of the city's most notable attractions are situated next to it or within its limits ( the Guggenheim , the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History , to name a few). But travelers insist that you shouldn't just pass through Central Park on your way to another place. This 843-acre green space is a favorite of New Yorkers and tourists; you can come here to exercise, dine, go to the zoo and more.

Almost everyone has a positive impression of the park, but no one has quite the same experience or recommends that you do quite the same thing. There's an almost impossible amount of sights to see here (hidden treasures, indeed), including more than 20 playgrounds, 48 fountains, monuments or sculptures, and 30 bridges. Here's a shortlist:

How to Visit the Met Museum: Tips & Tricks from a Local

*UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2020*

The Met Museum on NYC’s 5th Ave (AKA Museum Mile) is one of the most visited museums in the world. Almost 7.5 million people visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 3 locations in 2018.

This museum is overwhelming, amazing, and down-right unbelievable, really. If you haven’t been, think of the Louvre , Vatican Museum , or British Museum . The Met is on the scale of those other impressive international collections.

2020 marked the 150th Anniversary of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Of course, 2020 has also been a year of…a lot of changes. On March 13, 2020 the Met closed its doors due to the pandemic.

Now, more than five months later the Met has reopened . On August 29, 2020, the doors reopened with tons of safety measures in place. But it is still the incredible museum that the city knows and loves.

If you are planning a trip to NYC , you won’t want to miss a visit to the Met. Even if you’ve been to the city before, there is always something new to see. Plus, with almost 2 million pieces in the permanent collection, it would be impossible to cover everything in one visit.

Living in NYC, I am very fortunate to be a member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I visit the Met often and I know, it can be a lot to take in. Each time I go I experience something new.

In this post, I will give you some background on this museum and everything you need to know to make the most of your trip in 2020. I’ve updated this post to include all of the pandemic-induced changes. If you are considering going to the Met during the pandemic-keep reading! I’ve been twice so far and will give you a full report of what to expect during a social distancing trip to the museum.

Oh, and we will even look at some of the best restaurants and other activities in the surrounding area. Because why not make a day of it?

Ready to explore the largest art museum in America? Here we go!

Everything You Need to Know Before Planning Your Visit to the Met Museum in 2020

In 1870, the New York State Legislature granted the Met permission to incorporate and create a museum that would help bring art to the public. Two years later, the museum opened at its original location in the Dodworth Building at 681 Fifth Avenue.

On March 30, 1880, the collection moved to the location where the museum still stands today. However, expansions now completely surround the original museum building.

The Met’s collection grew substantially throughout the 20th century. Today, you can see tens of thousands of the almost 2-million piece collection on display during your visit to the two-million-square-foot building.

Before we dive any deeper, let’s make sure we are all on the same page. The Met (a shortened name for the Metropolitan Museum of Art) is the largest art museum in the United States. This museum is the crown jewel of museum mile in New York City. You could easily spend days exploring this museum. There are so many different exhibits, including Egyptian artifacts, suits of armor, and Van Gogh paintings.

But that short description really doesn’t even begin to cover it. The Met actually has two locations: The Met Fifth Avenue (the main location) and The Met Cloisters.

The Met Fifth Avenue is located at 1000 5th Ave New York, New York. You can get here by taking the 4, 5, or 6 train to 86th Street and walking west towards 5th Avenue. Or, take the 1 train to 86th Street, then the M86 crosstown bus across Central Park to Fifth Avenue. Another option is to take the C train to 81st Street, then the M79 bus across Central Park to Fifth Avenue.

If you visited the Met years ago, you might remember that it used to be a pay-what-you-wish museum. Unfortunately, the museum is now only pay-what-you-wish for New York residents and students in NJ, NY, and CT.

Otherwise, Met tickets cost $25 for adults, $17 for seniors (65+), and $12 for students. Members , patrons, and children under 12 get in for free.

We will cover this a bit later, but visitors now need to reserve a visiting time slot online in advance. You can also purchase your tickets online to skip the line at the ticket desk. Or, if you are eligble for pay-what-you-wish tickets, you should reserve your time slot online and pay when you arrive.

The Met is open:

Thursday and Friday: 12 pm – 7 pm Saturday–Monday: 10 am – 5 pm

The Met is closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thanksgiving, December 25, January 1, and the first Monday in May.

What to Expect When Visiting During the Pandemic

Don’t worry- this picture is from 2019. But I had to include this picture because it is wild to see now. Also, look at what I originally wrote when I published this blog post in 2019:

“Crowds. Seriously, expect crowds. But don’t let that scare you away. This is one of the best museums in the world so obviously, you are not the only person who wants to check out this place.”

Alright, when you visit the Met during the pandemic you don’t need to worry about crowds. Instead, you can expect a socially distanced line outside, temperature checks, masks, hand sanitizing stations everywhere, and a limited number of guests allowed in each gallery.

See, this is from 2020. It’s way emptier now!

Here are the main things you need to prepare for when visiting the Met during the pandemic:

• Reserve your time to visit online in advance . Head to the website, select the location (either The Met 5th Avenue or The Met Cloisters), select the date you want to visit and then select the time. You will then be able to purchase your tickets. If you are a member or qualify for pay-what-you-wish, you should still reserve a time to visit but you won’t pay anything online.
• Safety measures are enforced . Wear a mask, stay 6ft away from any other guest, and use the hand sanitizing stations around the museum.
• You will get your temperature taken . Before entering the museum, you will get your temperature taken as a safety precaution.
• Coat-check isn’t available . For now, coat and bag check isn’t available. So don’t bring large bags or anything you wouldn’t be able to carry with you throughout the museum.
• Paper maps aren’t available. While paper maps aren’t available during the pandemic, you can view a digital map here .

When you arrive, you will see a socially-distanced line outside the iconic stairs that lead up to the entrance. Get in line and be prepared to show your reservation time on your phone or printed off. You will get your temperature taken and then enter the museum. If you have a bag, you will need to wait for bag inspection. Everyone passes through a metal detector before entering.

Once inside the lobby, you will be greeted by a Met staff member who will direct you where to go if you still need to purchase tickets. After getting your tickets, it’s time to explore. There are three main gallery entrances, so pick one and have fun.

Top 10 Can’t-Miss Items for a First Visit

If wandering aimlessly in the museum isn’t your time, I get it. I’ve already said this, but the Met is overwhelming. Not in a bad way, but it is just large and hard to take in.

So, if this is your first visit to the Met, here are the 10 things you shouldn’t miss

• The Temple of Dendur (Gallery 131)- This authentic Egyptian temple was created in 10 BC and gifted to the Met to help preserve the historic ruins.
• Washington Crossing the Delaware (Gallery 760)- If you grew up in America, you likely saw this iconic painting in a history textbook at some point.
• Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat (Gallery 825)- One of Van Gogh’s famous self-portraits.
• Madonna with Child and Enthroned Saints (Gallery 962)- Raphael’s only altarpiece on display in America.
• Human-Headed Winged Lion (Gallery 401) – Also known as a lamassu, these sculptures were built in the 9th century BC to guard the palace of the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II.
• The Dance Class (Gallery 899)- One of Edgar Degas’s most ambitious pieces.
• Ugolino and His Sons (Gallery 548)- Sculpture by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux that shows his admiration for Michaelangelo’s style.
• Armor Garniture (Gallery 371)- This armor is said to have been made for King Henry VIII.
• Terracotta Panathenaic prize amphora (Gallery 153)- An incredibly well-preserved jar awarded to the winner of a race held in a 6th century BC Panathenaic festival in Athens
• Cow’s Skull: Red, White, and Blue (Gallery 899)- Georgia O’Keeffe piece that showcases the New Mexican influences in her art.

Rotating Exhibits

In addition to permanent exhibits, the Met often features temporary exhibitions. Visit the website to see what is currently on display.

One of the best rotating exhibits to check out is the new exhibit that opens each year after the Met Gala. The Met Gala is a well-attended fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. When I say well-attended, I mean you have to be on the “who’s who” A-list to even be considered for an invite. Shortly after the Met Gala (which takes place in early May), the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit opens. Although the 2020 Gala was canceled, the exhibit About Time will be on display from October 29, 2020-February 7, 2021.

Food & Drink Options

Unfortunately, the Met’s food and drink options are pretty limited during the pandemic. For now, the only option is grab and go from the American Wing Cafe .

The following information is about the remaining dining options that are normally available. Hopefully these return after the pandemic:

The Met has a rooftop garden (and bar). It is easy to miss the rooftop, but if you are here when it is open, don’t skip it!

I have an entire blog post dedicated to the Met Rooftop Garden Bar , which you can check out for more details. But here is a quick rundown: Take an elevator to the 4th floor then walk up a flight of stairs to the 5th-floor rooftop. You can find an elevator in the European Sculpture and Decoratives Arts exhibit. Once you are on the rooftop, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park. Plus, there is a bar on the rooftop where you can purchase snacks, wine, and cocktails.

The Met Rooftop Garden Bar is open from  mid–April through October  on  Sunday-Thursday from 11:00 am- 4:30 pm  and  Friday & Saturday from 11:00 am- 10:00 pm  (but you must enter the museum by 8:45 pm).

You could easily spend an entire day exploring the Met, so you are probably gonna need to take a break for a snack or meal. There are 9 different dining locations in the Met , but here are the highlights:

• Ground Floor Cafeteria – No-frills cafe offering a little something for everyone.
• The Bookstore Cafe – Great spot to discuss the art over coffee and a pastry.
• The Great Hall Balcony Cafe – Gelato, wine, and small plates.
• The American Wing Café – American fare in a cafe surrounded by American sculptures.
• Cantor Rooftop Garden Bar – This is the rooftop bar I mentioned earlier. Enjoy wine, cocktails, and small bites with a view.

Met Cloisters

The Met Cloisters is a branch of the Met Museum. You can visit this beautiful museum in Fort Tyron Park in Washington Heights.

Just like for the Met Fifth Avenue, you will need to reserve a time to visit online in advance .

The museum showcases European medieval architecture, sculpture and decorative arts, which are housed in authentic European cloisters. These were dismantled in Europe in the 1900s and sent to NYC to be used for the museum.

The Met Cloisters are located at 99 Margaret Corbin Drive (Fort Tryon Park) New York, NY 10040.

The Met Cloisters are open as of September 12, 2020:

Open Thursday–Monday Closed Tuesday and Wednesday

March–October: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. November – February: 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

The Met Breuer was the third branch of the Met Museum. The Met Breuer opened in 2016 and focused on modern and contemporary art. As of 2020, the Met Breuer permanently closed its doors .

Things to Do Near the Metropolitan Museum of Art

After you finish a visit to the Met, check out some of the other great things to do nearby.

Things to Do Near the Metropolitan Museum of Art (5th Ave):

Here's How Much The Met Will Cost (& How To Get In For Free)

Price is important. However, New York’s Met Museum is worth more than the admission ticket of $30 for adults.

More Information About Free Admission To The Met

Quick Links

Planning a trip to the met this is how much you’ll need to pay, here’s how you can get in the met museum for free, other ways to get free admission to new york’s met museum.

While Paris might be the museum capital of the world, New York City also ranks in the top ten cities with the highest number of museums. Although Paris has a mind-boggling 297 museums, way higher than New York, the Big Apple also boasts quite a respectable 140, the second-highest in the United States. This is no mean feat. Chula Vista in San Diego has only seven museums .

New York’s many museums capture the identity of the Big Apple as the cultural capital of the world. And with more than 800 languages spoken within its five boroughs, New York City is easily the most linguistically diverse city on the planet. While there are many cultural centers where one can appreciate New York’s rich heritage, the city’s Metropolitan Museum is arguably its true cultural hotbed and The Met is free for many people. In this article, we disclose how much The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City or simply "The Met" costs and how to get in there.

UPDATE: 2023/05/03 11:34 EST BY AARON SPRAY

Unfortunately, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (The Met) is not free admission for most people outside of the state. Regardless, The Met is one of the leading museums in NYC and everyone should visit - New Yorkers get to go in for free. This article was updated and expanded with more information about how to visit the Met for free. Check the requirements and visit The Met for free.

Suggested Admission Tier Admission (The Met Free Admission):

Here’s the thing. Since March 2018, The Metropolitan Museum of Art has adopted an admission policy that’s based on a visitor's demographics. As a result of the new policy, admission to one of the world's greatest Art Centers is based on a two-tier admission arrangement. The first tier is called “Suggested Admission.” On the flip side, the second and last are known as “General Admission.”

Suggested Admission Tier Admission:

• Entry Fee: Free
• Who: NY Residents, Students In NY, NJ, & Connecticut

Required ID For Suggested Admission:

• New York State driver’s license
• New York State identification card
• Current bill or statement with a New York State address
• New York library card

The first tier of admission—referred to as “Suggested Admission,” takes in residents of New York State. Aside from residents of New York State, students in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut—are also grouped in the “Suggested Admission” category. So at least the Met has free admission for students in the Tri-State area.

Here’s why belonging to the “Suggested Admissions” category is a dollar-saver. Admission is free to those in the “Suggested Admissions” Category. Well, not exactly free, but it's more like it. The correct payment policy is “Pay As You Wish.” So that means it's entirely up to an individual to decide the amount he or she would want to part with.

General Admission Tier Admission (The Met Paid Admission):

On the other side of the pay-policy spectrum is what the museum describes as General Admission. This second-tier admission category includes all visitors who are not eligible for the first-tier category of “Suggested Admission.” Naturally, this includes those who are not residents of the Empire State—as well as those who are not students in either the states of New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut. Visitors who belong to the “General Admission” category will pay an admission fee that’s graduated according to age.

General Admission Tier Admission:

• Cost: Adult $30.00, Students $17.00, Children Free (Under 12 Years Old
• Who: None NY Residents & Students Outside The Tri-State Area

Consequently, adults will be required to pay $30 on admission. Students who are not in the “Suggested Admission” category will part with $17. However, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is free to children less than 12 years of age. It’s also free for members and patrons. Seniors get to pay a slightly discounted price—compared to adults—of $22. For proper identification, seniors are those above 65 years of age.

It’s good to know ways that one can save some cash, even if it’s only a penny. Fortunately, for those planning to visit New York’s Met Museum, there are a few free options. Most of these fall under the “ Complimentary Admission ” Category which also applies to children under 12. Aside from kids under 12, caregivers accompanying a visitor with a disability also qualify for the free “Complimentary Admission.”

In addition, those with IDNYC, the free government-issued photo ID card for New Yorkers who are at least ten years old—can also get into the Met for free. The other cardholders who’ll smile their way to the Met are AAM (The American Alliance of Museums), ICOM (The International Council of Museums), and the Museum Council of NYC members. But there are other lucky individuals and groups.

Those who hold a reciprocal membership from a participating institution, those who can present a valid employee ID from one of Met’s corporate sponsors, and those who have a valid press ID—benefit from “Complimentary Admission” and therefore can gain entry for free. And since the Met is a Blue Star Museum, it offers free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel. This takes in their family members also.

• Where Is The New York Metropolitan Museum? The physical address of this museum is 1000 Fifth Avenue and 99 Margaret Corbin Drive, New York, NY 10028 U.S.

Also, since the Bank of America supports several cultural centers financially, some museums (including the Met) have entered into a working relationship with the bank that grants the bank’s cardholders the benefit of free admission to selected museums—subject to some conditions.

Related: New York's Museum Of Illusions Will Turn Your World Upside Down.

Aside from the avenues we’ve mentioned, a staff member of another museum within the country can get free admission to the Met. This applies to all workers, including volunteers. Also, students from certain universities can gain entry into the Met for free. This includes students from Columbia University, among others. In case someone cannot legitimately use any of these free avenues, the best cost-saving approach would be to visit the Met as part of a group. By this approach, one is able to get a slight discount.

At the end of the day, New York’s Met Museum is worth more than the admission ticket of $30 for adults. Therefore, price should not stand in the way of what will be quite a rewarding experience. It’s an attraction that one should find a way of fitting into a trip to the Big Apple .

While many museums in New York City have special free entry days, the Met Museum does not appear to have any special free entry days. So those who do not qualify for suggested admission will have no choice but to pay.

There are plenty of other excellent museums to visit while in New York City, take the time to visit the NYC Tenement Museum and learn about the lives of generations of immigrants, read a book at the impressive Morgan Library & Museum , and learn about the naval and space history of the nation at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum .

The top 7 art museums to visit in Tokyo

Jan 19, 2024 • 6 min read

There's always something new on show from films at the Ghibli Museum to works by Yayoi Kusama in Tokyo © Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert / Getty Images

In a city of ravenous for art, in  Tokyo lines for exhibitions are as long as those for the latest pop idol's concerts.

The dozens of museums and galleries in Tokyo with dynamically changing exhibitions – from ukiyo-e woodblock prints to NFT gifs blinking on LED canvases – ensure even locals will never get bored. Whether local or international, there is always something new on show in the impeccable art halls of Japan's capital.

Weekends and holidays are best avoided if possible. And in this city of meticulous, perpetually full schedules, tickets should be bought in advance. Rarely is the entrance-ticket free, save for Culture Day (November 3). Most art institutions close on Mondays; the rest of the week, public ones shut their doors as early as 5pm, while private museums and galleries stay open longer.

1. teamLab Planets

Best immersive museum in Tokyo

Not even a typhoon could deter the people lining up for one of the first teamLab exhibitions back in August 2016. Since then, the international art collective – composed of various specialists, such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects – has been unstoppable.

teamLab Planets is a whimsical wonderland, one where you enter barefoot, climb a waterfall, step on flowers of light in silky warm water, and knock around giant colorful balls. In contrast to most museums, here you should touch the art, snap photos, proclaim your excitement and dive into the fun – in other words, truly immerse yourself. 

There are four massive exhibition spaces and two gardens, with a living orchid exhibit and occasional seasonal additions, like cherry blossoms in March and April. In teamLab Planets' front yard stands the public art sculpture named Universe of Fire Particles Falling from the Sky , a lava-lamp-like beacon of digital flowing art. In the same area, Reversible Rotation – Non-Objective Space  is a special mirror-walled art room where one can eat creative ramen offerings from Vegan Ramen UZU, surrounded by teamLab's unique spatial calligraphy projections. Tickets are purchased in advance, with a predetermined time slot. 

2. Yayoi Kusama Museum

Most dynamic museum dedicated to a single artist

Run by the eponymous Yayoi Kusama Foundation, this museum opened in 2017 to have the art of its prolific avant-garde namesake always on display. Best known for her polka-dot pumpkins and infinity mirror rooms, the 93-year-old Kusama keeps creating today, with some of the works exhibited referring to themes of isolation. 

Unlike museums dedicated to a single artist that remain pretty static, the Yayoi Kusama Museum often changes exhibits, which makes the tickets highly coveted, considering even Tokyoites are itching to visit at least twice a year. Also, the museum often exhibits works for the first time ever in Japan – or the world. 

The current exhibition "Visionary Colors" runs until March 2024. Tickets must be purchased in advance, with a predetermined time slot. 

3. Mori Art Museum

Art with a view

On the 52nd and 53rd floors of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, Mori Art Museum stands tallest among museums in Tokyo. Visit for the art and linger for the views.

Ticket holders of Mori Art Museum can also enter the open-air Sky Deck for just ¥500 (about US$5). It's a rare open-air observation deck in Tokyo, and the 360-degree view includes the iconic Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Skytree. Even Tokyo Bay is visible by day. 

The museum is a private institution that walks the tightrope between brave curation of cutting-edge art and pop culture. In the last few years alone, the museum has held exhibitions on the ukiyo-e painter Hokusai, as well as Hello Kitty and Attack on Titan, and it's collaborated with Hollywood darling Takashi Murakami and futurist designers and stars of Japanese architecture.

4. Ghibli Museum

Best for children and children at heart

Whimsical and fantastical, this museum looks like it belongs in a Ghibli movie itself. Ivy hugs the colorful walls, while a Totoro plushie grins from a fake entrance and one of Laputa's iron giants stands on the museum's rooftop.

The doors of the Ghibli Museum open to an even more magical space. Upon entering, you are given a ticket made from pieces of 35mm film that were actually used in theaters. You can hold it up to the light and see which scene from a Ghibli film you got. 

Once in, there is original Ghibli art displayed, peeks into animation history and even a replica of Hayao Miyazaki's work desk. The museum screens short movies, some of which are exclusive to the museum and only available for a limited time. The cute cafe and museum shop on the premises are among the best places for Ghibli merchandise . 

A special exhibition on  The Boy and the Heron opened in November 2023 and is tentatively expected to run through to 2025.

At just ¥1000 (US$8) for an adult ticket (less for children), it is affordable but notoriously difficult to nab one due to high demand. Advance reservations only. Also, be prepared for the fact that no photos are allowed inside the museum.  

5. 21_21 Design Sight

Best museum for design hipsters

With names such as starchitect Tadao Ando and fashion designer Issey Miyake involved, architecture, fashion and design otaku (geeks) fall head over heels for this museum. 

Architects and Japan have always had a special affair – every architect wants to visit the country with the most Pritzker Architecture Prize winners. One of those winners is Tadao Ando, so 21_21 Design Sight's building alone is art, with its sloping concrete roof and underground halls. It's made both to blend into Midtown Garden greenery and to stand out with its concrete geometry. 

The art exhibitions often fulfill the tall order of showing something you've never thought of before – 2021's "Translations," for instance, had robot monks singing sutras and a computer screen room translating everything you said into myriad languages, among other things. In 2024, Shunji Yamanaka's prototyping of the future, and an exhibition of ethereal works by American artist Daniel Brush are in the calendar. 

6. Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum

Local art lovers' best-kept "secret" spot

As much as public institutions can be secret, or as much as secrets can exist today, the Teien Art Museum is something close to a secret – at least, it's relatively uncrowded.

Open since 1983, it's housed in the former residence of Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, a building designated one of Japan's Important Cultural Properties. The prince and princess lived in Paris in the golden age of art deco, so the whole building was constructed in that style by the best artisans of the time. 

Today, the exhibitions at Teien Art often focus on art deco or have a French connection, such as the recent displays of glass art by Lalique. The museum's 2024 spring exhibition celebrates the museum's 40th anniversary, with an exhibition that analyzes and interprets anew the building, its construction and its artefacts.

7. Tokyo National Museum

Best museum for first-time visitors to Japan

The Tokyo National Museum in Ueno Park is Japan's first, oldest and largest museum, displaying a vast collection of primarily Japanese artworks for 150 years now. There are yet more superlatives in order: with more than 100,000 pieces, hundreds of them national treasures, the Tokyo National Museum possesses one of the biggest and best art and history collections in Japan, featuring paintings, sculptures, calligraphy, architectural models, metalware, swords, pottery, archeological objects and more.

With a wealth of traditional Japanese items, such as kimono, samurai armor, calligraphy scrolls and ukiyo-e woodblock prints (mainly in the Honkan building), it's a must-visit for all Japan aficionados. Since most Japanese people would have visited this landmark museum early on, it's often uncrowded and relaxed, with spacious exhibition halls spread over six buildings. In the teahouses in the garden, you might even chance upon a haiku gathering.
