The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a great place to spend a morning, afternoon, or even an entire day. The permanent collection contains over two million works of art. You can see everything from ancient art to modern art. You can view paintings, furniture, photographs, sculptures, musical instruments, and much more. The Met also offers special exhibitions. These exhibitions are only on display temporarily. When we visited the Met there was a special exhibit that featured the designs of Coco Chanel. Before visiting the museum, you can get on their website to see what special exhibits will be featured during your visit.

Admission into the museum is suggested at $15 for adults, $10 for students and senior citizens, and is free for children. This makes a tour of the Met one of the more cost efficient activities in New York City. However, don’t plan to visit the Met on Monday. The museum is typically closed on Mondays. They are open late on Saturdays and Sundays.
