Came here on September 19, 2017. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, it has collected cultural relics and artworks from various civilizations around the world through plunder. Most of these exhibits are representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe that every visitor will feel mixed emotions here. The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on different continents. Because everyone knows the origin of the collections, the exhibition is very simple and crude, that is, putting the things of a civilization in one place, without any good narrative, it is completely a "trophy" display. There are many collections here. If you want to see them carefully, you need to spend one or two days. The museum is next to Central Park, and the two places can also be arranged to visit in one day, half a day in the park and half a day in the museum.

As expected of the world's most famous museum, we saw ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, ancient Egyptian mummies, famous paintings from the European Renaissance, and the most representative works of impressionism and abstraction by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, etc. We didn't want to leave there!
First look at the online strategy, then take a map to circle the important things to see, plan the route and then go, so that it is more efficient. The first floor mainly looks at the Egyptian exhibition area, such as the mummies and sphinx, as well as the weapons and armor exhibition area, which is worth seeing the armor of the German emperor and the French king. The second floor is mainly for paintings, with Monet's "Waterlily" and "Sunflower," Van Gogh's "Rose" and "A bouquet of Flowers in a Vase." We went in at 3:30 in the afternoon and closed at 5 o'clock. The time was very fast. We only went shopping for an hour and a half, so we can only see some key points. If there is enough time, it is recommended to reserve a half-day visit.
Very very good, great value for money. The exhibits are exquisite, the Chinese tour guide Yang guides the superb, rich knowledge, various cultural relics, artworks, many boutique orphan culture, history, background, source, detailed in place, a great experience.
Book a day in advance and the price is more favorable and used smoothly. The museum is very large and you can visit for a whole day if you are interested.
