The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds a vast collection, from Egyptian antiquities to contemporary works, so it is hard to see everything in one day. It helps to decide what interests you before you go in.
If you want to see paintings, head to the European paintings galleries. If you want a shorter route, pick just two or three galleries. There are many places to sit and rest, so we suggest taking your time and not overdoing it. Admission methods and fees may differ depending on where the visitor lives, so please check the official information.
