The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the largest and finest
art museums in the world. Its collections include more than two million works of art --
several hundred thousand of which are on view at any given time -- spanning more than
5,000 years of world culture, from prehistory to the present.
This site is designed to give visitors an overview of the collections on display in the Museum's galleries. Also available are a Floor Plan, which includes information on services for visitors, and the Calendar, which offers a detailed current listing of special exhibitions, concerts, lectures, films, and other Museum activities, and the Gift and Book Shop, with over 100 of our best-selling items available. The Metropolitan Museum of Art Guide, an illustrated handbook that is for sale in all of the Museum's shops, provides more information about the collections.
