EasyTicket The Metropolitan Museum of Art
📍 United States New York 어퍼이스트사이드
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is New York's flagship art museum, with a broad sweep from ancient Egypt to European paintings, Asian art, and American art. On a first visit, it's important to pick the sections that interest you instead of trying to see it all.
It sits on the east side of Central Park, so it's easy to pair the museum visit with a park walk before or after. Special exhibitions and closed galleries change regularly, so check the official guidance before visiting.

Useful tips
- Choosing just two or three sections, such as the Egyptian galleries, European paintings, and the American Wing, is enough to fill your time.
- Comfortable shoes are essential if you're also adding a walk through Central Park.
- When planning, the huge collection can make you want to do too much. Look at the sections and exhibition information in the official visit guide first, then narrow your focus to two or three areas, such as Egyptian art, European paintings, and Asian art, to keep museum fatigue down.
Frequently asked questions
Is half a day enough?
Yes, if you stick to the key sections. The collection is vast, though, so it's best not to plan on seeing everything from the start.
Does a regular admission ticket cover every exhibition?
The official visit guide provides ticket and special exhibition information separately. Conditions can vary depending on whether you're only seeing the permanent collection or adding a specific special exhibition, so check the official guidance for your visit date.
