À propos
Faits rapides: Wandering through its vast halls, you'll find over two million works spanning 5,000 years, from ancient artifacts to contemporary art. The museum's rooftop garden offers a stunning skyline view that contrasts beautifully with the classic art inside.
Points forts: There is a fascinating ancient Egyptian temple inside the building that was painstakingly dismantled in Egypt and reassembled stone by stone, making you feel like you've stepped back millennia. Plus, over two million works of art spanning 5,000 years allow you to stroll through human history, from medieval armor that gleams under the chandelier light to vibrant Impressionist paintings that almost hum with color.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes, expect a lot of walking and some stairs.
- Head to the Sackler Wing around midday for the best light at the Temple of Dendur and strong photo opportunities.
- Arrive at opening or after 3 pm to avoid the largest tour groups and peak crowds.
- If short on time, prioritize the Egyptian collection, the American Wing, and the Impressionist galleries.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez New York, United States, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
