New York Metropolitan Museum of Art

 New York Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan museum of Art, located in 5th avenue, is one of the worlds largest art museums in the world. It is the largest art museum in the Western Hemisphere. 

On Friday August 12th, I went to the Met museum with my parents. I liked that the museum had a parking garage, and it was next to central park. If you are a New York State resident, the price you pay for tickets are up to you. Since our family lives on Long Island, we only paid 5 dollars. But tickets are usually $30 for adults and $17 for students. Kids under 12 enter for free. To find out more, you can visit their website https://www.metmuseum.org/visit/plan-your-visit

The museum has over 2 million artworks, so it is impossible to see them all in one day. We only visited 4 different galleries.
