Founded on April 13, 1870, the Met, as it’s popularly known, houses a vast collection of art from every corner of the world.
Suggested Admission Fee – Suggested admission price at the Met is a disgustingly steep $25. But that’s only a Suggested fee, not mandatory.
You can pay what you wish. Do NOT pay more than a nickel (5-cents). If that’s not a steal, I don’t know what else qualifies.
