Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, colloquially referred to as the Met, is an encyclopedic art museum in New York City. By floor area, it is the fourth-largest museum in the world and the largest art museum in the Americas.

The Met presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to enjoy. The Museum is located in two iconic sites in New York City: The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in the Met experience online.

Since its founding in 1870, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum's galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing new ideas and unexpected connections across time and cultures.
