2018: Exploring the Met

Woo! I had the awesome opportunity about a week ago to visit the Met Fifth Avenue. I only had about thirty minutes to explore this place, yet this wasn’t the first time I visited.

Anyway, below this paragraph, I’m just providing my general tips/thoughts on exploring this wonderful museum:

A Brief Look at What’s Inside

• A plethora of art from all across the globe from
  • Ancient Egyptian to Ancient Greece
  • Renaissance Arts
  • Japanese Scrolls and Paintings
  • African Carvings and Statues
  • Medieval Art
  • South American Art
  • Islamic Art
  • And much more! There’s new exhibits every year.

Admission Costs

• For New Yorkers, New Jeresians, students from CT: y’all can pay a suggested donation
  • Since I’m always on a budget, I only paid a $1 (haha) and I even rolled it up to make it look like I’m some high-roller (haha).
• For anyone who doesn’t fit the above category, sorry you’ll have to pay the suggested amount: $25. You can read about it here in more than five different languages. 
  • Or you can check out these NYC passes! They give you discounts around the city.
  • Or if you’re cheap (like me) or super sly, you can walk right in after the security check point and act like you know where you’re doing.
    • The best time to go would be during the crowds. Just blend in and avoid the men/women in black suits or people with black suits. 🙂

Navigating through the Museum

• There’s about three floors
• Thus, it’s easy to get lost so I would suggest the following:
  • Make it a 3 hour trip or better yet spend the whole day there! So, you’ll have the opportunity to get to see everything you like or discover something new!
    • (It’s a bit more complicated than say navigating through the American Museum of Natural History – another great museum to see, too! The Met just has so many secret passages and sections you can walk through. It’s like walking through a puzzle.)
  • Get a physical map once inside or memorize the map on its website beforehand!
  • And you can always bother the women/men in blacksuits if you’re lost.

Overall Thoughts

• Definitely visit this place if you’re in the city!
• It’s a magical place and one that lingers in your mind after you leave.
• You get to see history come alive.
