The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is a vast storehouse of knowledge. All under one roof -- the Met provides a number of options for many rewarding visits.
Every category of art in every known medium from every part of the world is represented here. Take in little taste or visit one section at a time: American painting, European painting, modern art and the collection of ancient Egyptian art at the Metropolitan Museum ranks among the finest outside Cairo.
Don't forget to refuel in the cafeteria. Want to get in on a little know secret to native New Yorkers? The roof garden. Grab a drink and take in the views. Great for date night!
