Do you need to book The Met in advance?<\/h2>\r\n

Walk-up tickets are available, but pre-booked timed-entry tickets let you skip the admissions queue \u2014 strongly recommended on weekends and during peak summer months. Guided tours sell out fast and should always be reserved in advance.<\/p>\r\n

What to see at The Met<\/h2>\r\n

With over 250,000 square feet across 17 departments, focus on the highlights: the Temple of Dendur in the Egyptian wing, European Paintings with Vermeer and Rembrandt, Impressionists including Monet and Degas, the Arms and Armour hall, and the seasonal Roof Garden with sweeping Central Park views.<\/p>\r\n
