What locals are saying . . .

TIP: Pay what you want to get in. Casually referred to as "The MET", this fine arts and history museum attracts couples, friends, historians, writers, artists, musicians, and practically every other human identity. Vastly different from the Museum of Natural History, The MET is famous for its highly valuable, absurdly rare, original, and sought-after paintings, lithographs, sculpture, and artifacts. This museum features world renowned European painters and sculptors. Within, you will find works by Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claude Monet. More into sculpture? That's great, because a large portion of the first and second floors features original Grecian and Roman sculpture. This museum is massive to the point of intimidation, but don't let too much beautiful art deter you from exploring the absolute beauty and originality within The MET. I'm sure you'll return.
