NEW YORK CITY—The largest art museum in the United States and the third-most visited museum in the world is The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which can be daunting for visitors and New Yorkers alike due to its sheer size and number of collections—and, let’s face it, the crowds.
Located at 1000 Fifth Avenue, more than seven million visitors annually enter the museum’s sprawling edifice, which reaches from 80th to 84th Streets along Central Park. With record attendance at exhibits by its Costume Institute Gala and by hosting the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America gala, The Met has succeeded in capturing a new genre of museum-goer and its next generation of supporters.
