Skip the Line Tickets to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET)

Established in 1870, the MET Museum is the world's second-most visited museum, where you can learn, discover, and engage with the art. With over 2 million works in its permanent collection, spread over 17 departments, there is something for everyone. It not only houses artworks, but also has costumes, weapons and armor from across the globe, and an entire floor dedicated exclusively to musical instruments.

The MET also has two other centres located in the city - The Met Breuer and The Met Cloisters.

The Met Cloisters, also a part of the MET, is home to medieval art from the Mediterranean and Europe. It also has various chapels and gardens to complement its Romanesque and Medieval architecture.

The MET Breuer is the most recent addition to the MET, having opened its doors in 2016. It is dedicated to contemporary and modern art from the 20th and 21st centuries and has unique exhibitions from this period.

Your tickets give you access to all three museums - the main Metropolitan Museum of Art, Met Breuer and Met Cloisters - with skip the line privilege. The ticket is also valid for a period of 3 days so that you can visit the three museums comfortably.
