The Metropolitan Museum of Art is 4 city blocks long. That’s a quarter of a mile. A lot of walking. Don’t go on the weekends and definitely do not go between Christmas and Three Kings Day. It’s extremely crowded and you will not be able to view the artwork. Plan your visit carefully.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is open from 10:00am to 5:15 PM Sunday to Thursday. Open from 10:00am to 8:45 PM Friday and Saturday. Get there early as possible. Have an idea of what you want to see well beforehand. Get the Museum maps at the Visitor Services desks. They are also Information Desks throughout the Museum. The Metropolitan Museum Tours are Free. Don’t be taken in by Tours where you pay money for misinformation. Smart visitors are happy visitors.
It’s also crowded during Holy Week because the schools close for Passover and Easter. Hordes of schoolchildren in the Museum doing homework just like the end of December and beginning of January.
One more thing if you let me know beforehand when you and your family visit perhaps I can take you around the city. My email address is deborah.palmer280@gmail.com

Cool museum. I want to visit. where is it located?
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.
Not all the exhibits in my photos are still there. The artwork rotates. Go to metmuseum.org for information about current exhibitions.

Also eat before you go. The Museum food is expensive.
Sounds like a cool place. Thanks for the info! It’s on my list for the next time I go to NY!

The cost is $25 per person. You might want to look up City Pass to see if you can get a discount.
