TREASURES OF THE WORLD

The Met is far more than a collection of paintings — which only take up about 1/4 of the Met.

It's got giant sculptures, countless theme rooms, and cool, sometimes bizarre, artifacts of 5,000 years of civilization.

IT'S LIKE TOURING THE WORLD WITHOUT LEAVING NEW YORK CITY.
