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.

Whatever you do, take a map. Even veteran visitors need a guide to make their way through the Met's labrynthine passageways. The new roman collection is wonderful, however, and very clearly laid out. Almost demands a visit.
