The Metropolitan Museum of Art

New York City's grand museum! Journeying through the art of mankind can be a overwhelming yet joyous experience. From Ancient Egypt through the Renaissance to American masters, try and take your time going through each section. You won't get to see everything but what you do see will be memorable.

Of course, you should first see what interests you. But if you're not sure, there is a spectacular wing devoted to the art of Africa, the Pacific Islands, Pre-Colombian and Native America. You have the Egyptian galleries including the incredible Temple of Dendur. The three floor American Wing stretches out into Central Park in a glass enclosed garden.

Visiting on weekends can lead to a romantic interlude in the main entrance's promenade for cocktails.
