Metropolitan Museum of Art

Crazy expansive and quite the hiking trail if you intend to view every nook and cranny of the museum. We managed a visit to maybe 75% of the rooms and only read the most interesting information plaques. This itself took three hours. Another visit will be necessary. The Met will cater to whatever art interest you have but we particularly loved the period/architecture room displays. Plus it is likely undefeated for statues if you find yourself looking for that.

You are able to buy tickets online. There was a long line to purchase tickets when we arrived on a Thursday. It's a pretty easy process to buy tickets online. The museum is huge. You would need a few whole days to take everything in. There is a food court and clean restrooms. My favorite part was arms and armor. Greek and Roman section was also awesome.

The Met was gorgeous and large. My suggestion is looking on their website. They have an area you can search their galleries and collections to see what you’d want to look at and make a list. I printed a map off at home and marked the galleries I wanted to go to. It helped us weave around to find exactly what we wanted to see. You can spend 1 hour to 3 days here. It just depends on what you wanna see. They have an accessible entrance on 81st street with wheelchairs free of charge (in limited supply) if you need. If you’re a little larger, they do have an extra wide wheelchair and a “regular sized” one. Although in my opinion, the “extra wide” one was more like the regular sized wheelchair and the “regular” one was for super thin people. A very beautiful collection you should see! You could visit it 10 times and still not see everything! Also, if you see the cloisters the same day, you get free admission to this Met collection. Just keep your sticker on from the Cloisters. I think it works the other way too.

Great place to visit, now they do sell tickets online for NYC residents; this place is huge and has so many historical concepts. It is much better to learn history from this museum than having any classes in high school. But anyway, do not hesitate to visit this place, you will enjoy it! P.S. They even work on public holidays, which was super cool!
