One of the most renowned museums in the US is definitely worth the attention. With curatorial departments including Greek, Egyptian, Ancient and Eastern Art, you easily spend a full day here and still leave with exhibits yet to see. Admission cost: There is no charge for entrance to special exhibitions and the museum has a wonderful admission fee policy of... more

This museum is in a class by itself. OK, maybe the Louvre is in the same class. You can forget about seeing all of this in one day, it would take at least a week. The key is to pick one particular section, say European painting, and focus in on that area. You can probably do that section justice if... more

I've been there twice in the past 15 years and each time have come out wishing I had more time to explore it. It is one of the few places in the world where you can see art from all over the world, of top quality, under one roof. The "open spaces" with natural light are beautiful. My top tip... more

Unfortunately, we visited on a cold, rainy day in October and so did everyone else in town, to get indoors. It was very crowded in the main lobby and gift shop and many of the exhibit rooms.

This is by donation although they will suggest you pay $20. There is a lot of variety from Egyptian mummies, Greek and Roman sculpture to a Dyson vacuum in the modern art section. Plan on tired feet and 3 hours. more

the Metropolitan Museum of Art would be my choice - allow at least one day due to the vastness of the collections - read up on it (on the net) before going so as to be more focused on what you wish to see - it's astonishing. more

There is no way to adequately express the wonder found in the Met. Whatever your mood, there's a gallery or exhibit to fit your taste. Some of the greatest art ever created is housed here. You can blissfully spend hours and hours wandering or quickly run by to see the newest exhibit on display. more

If you love art, any kind of art- ancient greek, asian, european, modern, medieval, musical instruments, tapestries, american classics, it is all here! This museum can be grueling and overwhelming so utilize the Met's website before you go. Have a plan and pick the highlights because you will not be able to see it all in one day! Be aware... more
