The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"What a gorgeous experience. The Met Museum — Brief Review The Met is breathtaking in scale and richness, but it can get extremely crowded, even in winter. Popular galleries draw dense crowds, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed if you’re not prepared. Go in with a plan, arrive early if possible, and focus on a few sections rather than trying to see everything. Despite the crowds, the museum’s grandeur and world-class collections make it absolutely worth the visit—just allow time, patience, and comfortable shoes."

"Definitely worth adding to your itinerary. Booking tickets was very convenient, especially with the help of our local friend in New York. Getting there was easy via Uber, but we highly recommend planning your visit in advance since the museum is massive. Having a map (if available) is extremely helpful. Once inside, it feels like an endless journey through history—you can learn so much just walking through the exhibits. There are also spots inside where you can buy souvenirs. We visited during peak hours in winter (December 2024), so it was very jam-packed. Because of that, we chose to eat at nearby restaurants instead. That said, they do have a canteen inside the museum, which is convenient. Even during busy times, there are plenty of food options just outside the museum as well. Overall, it was a wonderful and enriching experience."

"The Divine Egypt Exhibit at the Met was fabulous. If you have even a slight interest in archaeology and history, you must visit. Located on the second floor, there was so much to take in. The artifacts, sculptures, and scrolls were fascinating. I enjoyed learning about the ancient Egyptian world and how humans interacted with their gods and goddesses. One thing I would suggest is having a tour guide, as it would have helped us to take in the information more deeply. This is not a one-day trip unless you’re ready to wear yourself out. The museum is huge and like a maze, where you could easily get lost without a map. Although we passed through various sections of the museum, we didn't get to see everything. So make sure to plan your visit accordingly, especially if you’re visiting from out of town. Looking forward to returning to see what other works of art they have on display."
