Any visitor to New York should spend at least a couple of hours at this vast museum. Built by Richard Morris Hunt in 1895, it has more than 1.5 million square feet of exhibition space. European paintings on display include works by Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Titian and Vermeer. The Egyptian gallery is unparalleled. Asian art, sculpture, armory, and photography also vie for your attention. During warm weather, the open-air roof garden displays contemporary sculpture. See website for exhibition schedule, membership details and complete visitor details. Check the Met's website for Met Holiday Mondays. Suggested Admission: $20 adults, $15 seniors, $10 students, free for children under 12.
