Each and every one of the New York City museums is worth visiting. It is impossible to visit all of them during just one trip. For planning purposes, a visit to one museum will take at least 3 hours, but more likely will end up being 4-6 hours, so it’s best to visit different museums during several trips to New York City.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has nearly two million works of art spanning more than 5,000 years, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world’s largest and finest museums, presenting the best of human creativity from around the globe. From the splendors of ancient Egypt to the spectacular New American Wing, inspiring treasures from the Greek and Roman world, beloved Impressionist paintings, and the latest in contemporary art, a world of great art awaits you at the Met—New York City’s most-visited attraction.
