Need weeks if not months to see it properly. The scale of this museum is vast and it houses some treasures from our times and the ones before. I enjoyed the Van Goghs and Monets on display. The arms and armor room as well as the Egyptian exhibition are must sees. If you have limited time here, get here early in the morning and use the map to make the most of your visit.

The line to get into the museum was long but it moved quickly for us on a Saturday morning. You will not want to miss this if you are visiting NYC. There’s so much to see inside that you can’t do it in a day. I don’t even think we could see all of it in a week if we did it right with taking the time and reading everything. The museum is massive and full of so much history and art. It is incredible. When we got inside, we went straight to the welcome desk where the very helpful attendant mapped out a path for us of must see items for our time limit that day. We still couldn’t manage to see all the areas she gave us and hope to make it back again one day to continue the tour. Don’t miss out on the amazing hand crafted staircase close to the medieval section. Just ask an attendant and they will guide you to it.

This place is vast so it will easily fill a day if you want it to. It’s perfect for a rainy day but be warned the queues on a rainy day will be long so get in early! Once inside you can browse all the great artists such as Monet, Picasso, Van Gough, Jackson Pollock along side Tiffany and ancient artifacts from past civilisations all laid out in various amazing buildings.

Spent half a day here on a very wet and windy day in October. This museum is absolutely amazing - so much to see. We'd highly recommend this to anyone who's interested in historical art and archeology. There really is something for everyone. Be aware that you really need a full day (at least!) for this - it's not somewhere you can just pop into for an hour of two. It's massive! Better to buy your lunch outside and eat it in Central Park and then return to the museum as the museum cafe is very very expensive (beef roll anyone? that'll be $19 thank you!)...I think this chips were cheaper mind. However, don't let that detract you from what's an amazing museum.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of artwork is unparalleled. I could look through all of the collections for a week straight and not get tired of it. But I've got this under control. Before I provide my perspective, I feel the need to preface it by stating that I am a major advocate for the arts and that I am a staunch believer that public funding should be more generous toward all sectors of the arts, across all nations.

The Picasso exhibit is located on the 3rd floor, but there are a ton of other famous pieces are on the 4th and 5th floor as well. Picasso’s Mademoiselle is located in gallery 503. Took a bit to find it for us. It was quite nice to see the Starry Nights, Lilly ponds, the Dancing and many more famous pieces during our visit. My eyes I found tended to gravitate towards more of the clean, simple and colorful art pieces.

This museum is always an awesome place to spend a few hours! Also great if you’re a local or a student in NY or CT as you get choose what you pay for admission (with valid ID of course) if you buy tickets there. Staff is always kind and helpful:)

The good: Amazing and extensive collections that left me in awe. It’s so vast that I wish I had months to take it all in. The bad: needs wayfinding signage or a cool interactive app with navigation like the American Museum of Natural History. If there is one, it is not promoted well on its site like on the AMNHs. I felt very lost many times even with the paper map. Staff seems bored and not thrilled to help. Manet/Degas exhibit was very crowded.

The Met is more than a museum; it's a cultural journey celebrating human creativity through the ages. From ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces, it's a profound experience that leaves you with a renewed appreciation for the wonders of the human spirit. A must-visit for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

Non apologies necessary for this work class museum right here in the US. We’ve visited them all and the MET earn every bit of respect. Amazing..really amazing European art and gifts from Egypt that no other country can claim. Go straight from the airport to this museum..skip the hotel! The art and exhibits here will fill spots in your heart and soul you didn’t know you had.
