How Do You Visit Museums In New York City?
No matter how many days you spend in New York, you can never do justice to the magnificent museums. Instead of trying to rush through so the art becomes a blur, concentrate on what interests you most. You’ll find ancient artifacts, contemporary paintings and everything in between. Plan to spend a day, or more, at the grand Metropolitan Museum of Art. The main building (“The Met”) at the edge of Central Park includes far-reaching collections of ancient works, European masterpieces, modern art, musical instruments, weaponry, costumes and more. To get the most from your visit, rent an audio guide or attend an event such as a gallery talk or family program. The museum also has a smaller location in Upper Manhattan (“The Cloisters”) that highlights medieval art and architecture. Head to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for an in-depth look at modern and contemporary work. The 150,000-piece permanent collection features paintings, photographs, design objects, architectural models and more. Sp
