MET - Metropolitan Museum of Art. PART 1. This is the best historical museum I have been to, has extensive European history. Love the drachmas. Love the absolute stunning beauty of the Asian, South asian, African, Native American, and the African showcase. They had real jewelry in the place that was extremely ancient and you could walk into opulent rooms of the palaces. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, colloquially "the Met",[a] is the largest art museum in the Americas. In 2022 it welcomed 3,208,832 visitors, ranking it eighth in the list of most-visited art museums in the world, and the second-most visited art museum in the United States.[6] Its permanent collection contains over two million works,[1] divided among 17 curatorial departments. The main building at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile on the eastern edge of Central Park on Manhattan's Upper East Side, is by area one of the world's largest art museums. The first portion of the approximately 2-million-square-foot (190,000 m2) building was built in 1880. A much smaller second location, The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, contains an extensive collection of art, architecture, and artifacts from medieval Europe.
