Metropolitan Museum of Art
This sprawling encyclopedic museum, founded in 1870,
houses one of the biggest art collections in the world. Its
permanent collection has more than two million individual
objects, from Egyptian temples to American paintings.
Known colloquially as 'The Met,' the museum attracts
over six million visitors a year to its 17 acres of galleries -
making it the largest single-site attraction in New York
City. (Yup, you read that right: 17 acres.) In other words,
plan on spending some time here.
