Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most famous art museums in the world, and probably the most well-known of New York City's many art museums. It is located on the Museum Mile, which stretches along Central Park on the Upper East Side. If you are walking through Central Park, you can find the museum by moving toward the Obelisk, a large Central Park monument that is next to the museum. The Met has a suggested donation rate, but you can enter with a donation of any size.
