The Metropolitan Museum of Art ( New York)

The MET: 1000 5th Ave, New York, 10028 (212) 249-8998 ‎ 

On my last trip to New York I decided to play tourist and started off with the museums. First on the list: the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Similar to the Louvre in its collection it is truly magnificent and don't be surprised if you end up getting lost as its massive. The building itself is set on the border of Central Park and is a beautiful work of art meriting a visit if not to the museum but just to see the architectural beauty. Try to get there early as it gets busy quite quickly and you will find yourself hovering over a crowd just to get a look at artwork.
