Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET) attracts 5 million visitors every year. It is located in Central park on Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The MET houses collections from nearly all cultures and ages. It was created in 1866 and has more than 2 million objects on display. The MET has Modern wing, Greek and Roman Galleries, European and Asian art, Egyptian art and American art. The most famous object at the MET is in the Egyptian Temple of Dendur dating 15 BC. The MET like the British Museum are places that can’t be explored with one visit, so you need to come back again and again and will always find something new.
