About the Metropolitan Museum of Art
“The Met” is one of the most important museums in the world and the largest in the US. With a permanent collection of more than 2 million objects, the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection scopes 5,000 years of Art from around the world.
The building at 5th Avenue in Manhattan is a must-see for every traveler to New York, where he will find archeological objects and pieces of art that will be familiar to him, as well as new treasures divided among its seventeen departments.
From the Archeulian flints from Deir el-Bahri (dated to the Lower Paleolithic) to the latest additions of the Costume Institute, the Met is a monument to the search for Beauty throughout the history of humanity.
