参观大都会艺术博物馆的最佳时间?

我应该带什么去大都会艺术博物馆?

• 照相机:您将看到一些世界上最著名的艺术作品,从古代到文艺复兴时期再到现代大师作品。这让您有充足的机会拍摄一些令人难忘的照片,特别是在像登杜尔神庙这样的互动展览。但请记住,大都会博物馆不允许使用自拍杆,因此,如果您想拍一些自己的照片,请带上朋友一起参观。
• 水:外面的食物和饮料不允许带进博物馆,但你可以带一瓶水。您将花费大量时间在室内展馆中,因此带一瓶水会让您不必疯狂寻找饮水机。

Tips for visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art

 

• Make a plan: The Met is large, and it's really easy to get lost or off track when exploring. If you’re trying to take in the whole place in one visit, start with one of the side wings (Greco-Roman off to the left, or Egyptian off to the right.) Not only will this lead you through to other rooms, but you’ll also get to experience a historical timeline of cultural production from around the world.
• Stick around: The Met makes it easy for visitors to stay for an extended period of time, so don’t try and rush through. You’ll probably need 3-5 hours just to see the permanent collection, so take advantage of the many resting spots – found in just about every room – which can give your feet a break and let you take in the surrounding atmosphere.
• Download the app: The Met’s app is a handy way to make sure you see everything you want to without having to worry about pulling out your map every few steps. You can also access the audio tour for free on a smartphone by visiting the museum’s site and clicking on “Audio Guide.” Visitors can still rent devices at the museum if they wish.
• See the Cloisters: Further uptown, the Cloisters are all about the art and architecture of Medieval Europe. With a ticket to the Met, you’ll also be able to visit the Cloisters on the same day.
• Children under 12 receive free admission.
• Save at the store: Show your Explorer Pass to save $10 off a purchase of $50 or more at The Met Store and to save $1 on the Audio Tour.

When's the best time to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

Weekends are always a busy time for NYC museums, so if you can, try and visit the Met during the week to cut down on crowds. For a special treat, on Friday and Saturday evenings the Met serves cocktails with light snacks and live music on the Great Hall Balcony Bar, which overlooks the majestic lobby entrance.

Every year the Met installs a new work by a contemporary artist on the rooftop, which during the warmer months provides incredible views of Central Park, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan. Visitors during these seasons will have access to a rooftop cafe and bar.

 

What should I bring to the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

 

• Camera: You’ll see some of the world’s most famous works of art, from ancient times to the Renaissance to modern masters. There are ample opportunities for memorable photos, particularly with interactive exhibitions like the Temple of Dendur. Keep in mind the Met won’t let you use selfie sticks, so bring a friend if you’re looking to document your trip in portraits.
• A bottle of water: You can’t bring outside food and drink into the museum, but you can bring bottles of water. You’ll be spending a lot of time inside, so you’ll appreciate not having to track down a water fountain.
• A sketch pad: For the creatively inclined, sitting in one of the galleries and sketching the artwork can be a truly unique way to remember your trip. The Met frowns on materials that can make a mess or potentially harm the artwork (no pens), and asks visitors to do their drawing with pencil and paper.

And that's it! With the Met’s security procedures, you won’t be able to bring much else with you. Visitors with backpacks or large bags will be required to check them, although purses are okay to be carried around. You’re better off leaving large items to avoid the long bag check lines.

What to see and do at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

There's so much to see, you could spend your entire day here. We've highlighted some of the best and most famous exhibits to help you create a game plan for your visit.

Greek and Roman art

Here visitors can take in ancient Greek and Roman pottery, sculptures, and artifacts like jewelry and furniture. There are more than 17,000 works in this exhibition hall, dating from the Neolithic Era (4500 B.C.) to the time of Constantine's Roman Empire (312 A.D.). As you peruse the works, you'll be able to follow along with somewhat of a timeline and history told by these unique and expertly-preserved artifacts.

Egyptian art

You'll find 26,000 different artifacts and artworks in the Egyptian wing. In addition to the paintings, sculptures, and jewelry of the ancient Egyptians, the Met also houses the Temple of Dendur, a structure dating to before 10 BC. The Sackler Wing, the new home of the Temple, has an incredible installation with an indoor river, trees, and other related elements. This arguably one of the best exhibits as the museum, as it features giant ceiling-to-floor windows that look out onto the city's bustling streets.

Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas

This area covers an extensive history of tribal cultures from around the world. Visitors can view ancient artifacts like masks, ritual accessories, and a significant amount of textile work. With over 11,000 pieces, you'll get a better idea of the culture of ancient South America, sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, and more.

East and Southeast Asian art

This is a huge area of the museum, as it contains examples of work from all over Asia, including China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, and spans all the way back to ancient times. The oldest artifact in the building dates back to the third millennium BC. It's one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Asian artwork in the entire Western Hemisphere.

Medieval art

The Met’s collection is home to a number of medieval pieces of art, both religious and secular in nature. For those who want an extra dose of the era, a visit to the Met’s uptown Cloisters will be memorable for history buffs.

European exhibits

Sculpture and decorative art

For those looking for classic examples of Renaissance sculptures, this wing is home to famous sculptors such as Rodin and Bernini. Visitors can also experience rooms that are dedicated to certain periods and styles, fully furnished in their original manner.

Whether you are an art lover or not, the Met’s European paintings wing contains some of the world’s most recognizable artworks and artists from history. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Botticelli and others are represented in these strikingly designed rooms.

To continue through Europe's art history, more recent masters such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, Matisse and many more are represented in this area. Some of the most famous artists, such as Monet and Cézanne, have galleries dedicated to solo presentations of their work.

The American Wing

These rooms pay homage to American artwork, design, and architecture spanning from the 17th century to the early 20th century. Walk through staged rooms, halls of sculptures, and important examples of domestic art by artists of the past and present.

Modern and contemporary art

While the Met’s galleries are home to important artwork throughout history, they also have a wing dedicated to modern and contemporary works. Today, the exhibit hall holds 12,000 paintings dated from 1900 to the present day. You can see masterpieces by Dalí, Pollock and Warhol, and works by contemporary artists such as Kiki Smith and George Condo.

Rooftop

If you visit during the summer, be sure to head up to the roof to take in views of the park and a rotating installation by contemporary artists. It's an awesome place to grab a drink, a quick bite, or just enjoy the view.

The Costume Institute

The Met’s annual celebrity-filled gala supports the Costume Institute, which brings temporary exhibits celebrating some of the world’s most important historical and contemporary fashion. Items from the permanent collection are also displayed throughout the year, and include pieces dating back to the 15th century. For any fashion-lover, this is a can't miss.

Special exhibits

The Met hosts special exhibitions that rotate throughout the year, each explotring a medium or artist in depth. Consult the website before your visit to see which special exhibits you'd like to catch.

American Museum of Natural History

To take in even more history, a walk through Central Park will put visitors right at the American Museum of Natural History, one of New York’s most famous landmarks. This museum is one of the largest of its kind and is most famous for its collection of dinosaur fossils and the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.
