Metropolitan Museum of Art
Listed under Art Collections in New York, United States. Rated 4th of all Art Collections in the world.
The 'Met' is to New York what the Louvre is to Paris. It's an astonishing museum in its scale and size - the best museum by far in the New World, and one of the 'must-visit' sights of New York. The collection of European art encompasses all ages from the Romans to Renoir, with works by all the masters on view. The Met's reach, though, is global: Egypt, Africa, the Middle East and Oceania are all represented and there is an extensive collection of American art. The programme of special exhibitions is excellent.
