The Metropolitan Museum of Art, better known as the MET, is the main museum in New York City. It is one of the world's largest and most prestigious art museums. Since its creation in 1872, it has included collections that cross all eras with big names such as Courbet, Degas, Renoir, and Monet. Like the Louvre Museum, the MET also presents an exhibition devoted to ancient Egypt. You will discover the recovery of the Temple of Dendur, offered by Egypt to the United States as a thank-you for their help during the Floods of the Nile. The space for the exhibition of medieval art is recognized by its large oriflammes and imposing wrought iron gates. The sizeable glass-roofed room will give you a stunning view of Central Park. ◄
