The MET is the greatest man made place on Earth. Whenever I step inside, I remember again why I am on this planet. To enjoy and celebrate the beauty of this world, first thru Nature, but secondly thru the works of great artists.
I lived in Manhattan for two years, and would walk across Central Park almost every weekend to go to the MET. It truly changed my life and opened up my mind tremendously. I’ve been obsessed with ancient art/artifacts/history ever since.
And the armor collection is killer/

I too got bitten by the bug tool. The medieval bug, at that! 5th grade!
One of the greatest museums in this world. Pride of the USA and NYC! Lucky be a member of Met for several decades, enjoy the collection very much! The donation from Super Riches as taxes shelter enrich and created this wonderful Art and Culture resource of humankind. Always loved! 💕💕💕😃😃😃
I'm crying as I watch this documentary.
I haven't been here in three months.
I usually meander through very often.
One of New York's top five institutions.
My church, my classroom, my community, my people....I miss you much. Two notes:
The Mezzanine restaurant, Friday afternoons
had a classical ensemble and the American Wing Pavilion.
40 years ago I was a " cater waiter" for Martha Stewart and other high-end caterers. A few times we worked catered parties at the Met in the Temple of Dendur ( spelling? ). It was breathtaking to be around this ancient stone temple. Events in this room were very limited, due to the fact that they can not have too many people around the temple.
I’m a New Yorker and yet I make sure to visit my favorite museums at least once a year, the Met & the MoMA being two of them. The first time I went to the Met was for a school trip when I was about six. I’ve never missed a year since. It’s a museum that feels like home, visiting my favorite artworks time and again, yet there seems to always be something new to learn, rooms to explore and a new appreciation to have for the myriad of artwork spanning the world over thousands of years.
Ydyyyyyyyyyy yes u guys will just up yet do you do that you yy
I go there like every week. It never gets old.
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is wonderful. I would like to go there once.
Biggest regret of my life was giving myself 2 hours to tour the museum. I knew it was famous and iconic but never imagined it's magnitude. I want to go back and spend the whole day there. That still wouldn't be enough. Absolutely amazing.
You’d get museum fatigue; ideally spend several hours each time you visit so you can enjoy; I have visited many museums of the world, have the say that for the grand ones a well stocked cafe does make a difference, as you can stay the whole day. I remember I spent a day sauntering through the Musei Capitolini in Rome and the National South Korean Museum just because the layout allowed the visitors to rest and stay well-fed. The Vatican Museums on the other hand were horrendous in spite of the nice exhibits, they were not as “long hours friendly” as others.
@@valeria-militiamessalina5672 The vatican would have done that on purpose, so that you go back and repay.
Boyd Boyett yeah I totally know what u mean
I lived 3 blocks away, and that wasn't enough. :)
I haven't been to the Met for decades since I was a painting major in college. I definitely should plan a trip back. I miss those elegant Sargents.
Wish to go back to NY, my visit is always hurried and not able to come by the met, watching this video made me regret not going with this quarantine going on.
this Doc made my night. Really pulled me out of a daze and left me thankful and filled with amazement. Id love to work there.
The top museums of the world must include the Louvre in Paris , the Prado in Madrid, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Vatican Museums in Rome, the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the British Museum in London, the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and the Met in New York. The very best works of art can be found in these places.
The Met is a very beautiful museum, and we should cherish it for many years to come.
I really appreciate advertisers who allow watching GREAT MUSEUMS for free on TH-cam. What a museum! It's literally my dream to visit it one day traveling there and being blown away by such beautiful works of art. This museum can teach me a lot of history and appreciate extraordinary and abstract beauty. I really like the work of Ch'ien Hsuan from China, as well as some of the status of Egypt and Iraq. Is there any possibility that I can help identify piano songs that start at 41:10? Thank you for sharing a great look at this museum collection✨❤.
Art helps to see how beautiful the person you're with IS. Eye contact is so rude nowadays.
I feel so lucky to live fairly close to New York; I've been able to visit the Met a number of times and continue to go
You are lucky to live in NY. There are so many galleries and exhibitions. I wish I lived there, I feel like it would be easy for me to find the motivation to keep painting.
You are lucky you live in NY. There so many Coronavirus its 99% chance you die.
@@marb5423 - More like 99% you had it and didn't even know it.
Jealous. I love in Minnesota and can’t wait to go once the virus is gone. It was the most magical experience of my entire life. I couldn’t even take it all in.
I can’t count the times I been to the met, but every time I always find something new
I wish I had the money to travel there and be marveled by such beautiful pieces of art.... perhaps one day.
Me too. Tell you what, when I win the Lottery, I will be in touch and then you will have your wish, Kay. Cheers.

I hope you do. I went this week for the first time and it has changed a little since this video. George Washington crossing the Delaware is in a different hall now.
Carrie Barratt is one sharp cookie...what an enviable cv and professional life she's had...
this is a wonderful site so many people would never get to see all this incredible art if it wasn't presented to us like this.
Had to watch this video for a art class. Never been an art person but wow this video has changed my mind to see art in a different light. I want to visit this museum now
PRICELESS LEGACIES WE LEAVE BEHIND WITH REVERENCE , THROUGH PRECIOUS TIME...ON EARTH... I first resonated with a small picture of 'Goya's boy with bird cage' at age 4, in SINGAPORE, and again, in reality at the 'MET' as an adult in the 70's............speechless.
After 911 we visited Manhattan for the first time. Every time I turned a corner, I saw art i recognized in the Met. When I saw my first Rembrandt I started crying like a baby.
The gift of art is truly invaluable!!! Recently, I went into this house of art and couldn't believe my eyes. I discovered so many masterpieces! Thank you so much for this amazing video.
I was just there two days ago, and let me tell you, you need more than just one day to see and appreciate the full extent of their art collections. My personal favourites were the weapons and arms, along with the Egyptian collection. Simply incredible!
I saw THE MET. and it’s amazing. I walked 4 miles inside of the museum. Amazing
it’s that big?!???
@@gay4vivi294 yes. It is really big. Incredible but true
@@gay4vivi294 yes. It’s huge because so many things to see. You need at least 2 days to see everything. I truly recommend it.
The M.E.T is classic! ive been there over seven times. I love living in New York City
Wonderful experience, will see it again and again. Thank you!
This gives us a wonderful sight into the treasures of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The viewer is led on a magnificent stroll through the world of art. Very good and vivid.
closest I will ever get to seeing this magnificent place, so, I thank you for uploading this
I was there last week in nyc. The museum is truly magical. I wish I had more time to spend there. This needs a whole day of tour. 😅
I work at the museums in my city. We have 5, all on one campus. I live in New England and have been to NYC many times but never The Met. That will change once Covid19 is gone. This museum is incredible!
I wish this documentary would talk more about the art instead of constantly saying how great the museum is. Would definitely like to visit there though if I ever end up in NYC.
you are the reason im stuck in this virtual field trip, for 50 minutes
This must have been played in a school setting. Wonderful because now I watch these docs for fun and am grateful.
That's great! Yes, starting at 46:20, you can see the Met's Oceanic art, including much of that collected by Nelson and Michael Rockefeller. We hope you enjoy.
46:20
I lived in New York City for 15 years... the last 1O years I lived in a bathtub in the kitchen and toilet in the hall apartment on the upper-east side... what I loved most was walking to museums like the Met on their free days... and taking all of the time I wanted... all for free... what a great city.
@sabi5 We're glad you liked it - thanks for letting us know. You may want to check out our two other videos about the Met: West Meets East and An Acquiring Mind.
Have had early Sunday mornings in some of the out of the way galleries, have spent a quiet afternoon almost all by myself in French interiors and have had the privilege of having my first MET visit be a viewing of a Picasso exhibit, in about '82 or '83, which included walking into the Gallery with the larger than life picture Guernica introducing the showing -- that just a year or so before Guernica was returned to Spain. To this day that showing formed my art foundation and Picasso and his works remain my most elemental reference.
Fantastic!!
Thanks to share!!
Absolutely wonderful, informative, moving! I miss being able to go to the Met whenever the mood struck me.
I loved watching about king tut all the stuff they showed at the museum so much beautiful things wow all that gold the mask he was buried in
Love this museum
very good video of an impressive museum. I remember that I felt to be one with all of the fanastic works. It was like forgeting myself while walking through the halls. One of the greatest museums in the world.
Man, I would love to go there! This museum and the Louvre are on my bucket list
AAA and 5yards are u okay dear,thanks dear seller, I like them all and children and all the cars I bought In jesus for my 9yards are
The MET in NYC is amazing and reeking with history
I have been there 3 years ago it is a marvelous place deserving a visit many times
I was lucky to go there, I was fascinated and dumbstruck by the art and collection. America is the greatest nation on earth. My head bows down to this great country.
MET IS MARVELOUS! ☺️
Such a fantastic Museum! It's absolutely my dream to visit it one day, for a least a week! I love it love it love it!...
I never get tired of watching it. Spectacular Beauty through and through. Thank you tremendously. : )
It's great to have this video, given the possibility that The Met may go the way of other art venues that will be closing their doors during the coronavirus pandemic.
A great video tour, I want to visit The Met. Thanks.
@Positive091 Thanks very much for your comment. Happy holidays!
excellent video to describe the beauty and information about whole museum thanks for this one
Thanks for your comment! The Met is simply a treasure house of wonderful works of art. Have you had a chance to see GREAT MUSEUMS' two other programs about the Met - An Acquiring Mind and West Meets East? They're both on our TH-cam channel.
enjoyed it all, much better than expected... thank you!!
In this museum is visually the entire culture of human well-summarized
greetings from porsche city stuttgart germany
Amazing place to visit and learn the history of art through time...super!!!... :)
I definitely have to go to this museum
Great to find all that treasures here to look at.
Hi, just wanted to stop by and show my support. I recently visited the cloisters and was moved to tears... its a shame more people dont know about it! keep up the great work!
I came to the met for a field trip one time and ever since I've wanted to go back for the whole day not just 2 hours
Amazing museum!!! Thank you very much for this excellent video!!! Sunny greetings from Rostock, Germany!
@daltonagre That's terrific - we're glad that you were able to see it. Great Museums has also produced programs about the Met's Chinese collection and about the acquisition strategy of the previous director, Philippe de Montebello, both of which you may enjoy on TH-cam.
Art 101 brought me here ! I love Art !
we should live in art, not just store it'n a museum.... don´t u think=?
outstanding, beauty full, precious...
thanks
I do.
Hi all, it's a must-see! Also, learn from my mistakes. 1. Bring with or wear your most comfortable shoes. 2. Plan to spend multiple days enjoying it. )
Terrific. Have a great time!
Please highlight Women for fun?
Those who have had the opportunity to see this place are the lucky ones... These days everything is so expensive, I will surely die before i would be able to visit such a place. This video is the closest, and my best opportunity to even get a glimpse of the wonders held there.
great museum.
A pleasure--such a complex and vast museum!
Thanks for sharing this great look at this museum's collection, I would now dearly like to visit whereas I previously has dismissed it as a low priority.
Beautiful
This is a great video. Thanks so much for your wonderful information here. I visit the Metropolitan as often as possible.
@Hello Gary, How are you doing?
I'm good
No words for this magnificent museum❣️
Thank you so much. We're always appreciative of positive feedback!
Morgan, incredible!
Truly sublime.
It is one of the greatest museums in the world. I wish I can come back in the future!
I've been to the Met once......I didn't want to leave.
Thank God for art
Very well presented and enlightening!
Huge tutorial from the various top curators! Thank you, inspiring awe of the experience that enormous oeuvre of collections at The Met!
Very beautiful place

One word: Excellent
I love The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York -
East and West (5:15,20:10,28:28)
9:00 Financing and Egypt.
16:16 39:00 The local view.
45:00 Rest of the world.
Amazing and extraordinary museum of History and Science. A great treasure for scientists and historians alike. I had a peculiar experience last time I went there 2 years ago, I met a Christian preacher who started relating Bible stories to archeological artifacts , then I realized that I found a living fossil of a humanoid *_Homo dogmaticus_* frozen in time some 2000 years backwards.
Such a treasure!
I love the overwhelming variety of art at the Met. I want to go back to view some of the European sculpture.
Ahhh....this museum is very interesting. I wish to visit sometime...
I used to go all the time. Now I live far away from NYC. I miss this museum.
When I was an art student and living in NYC, many moons ago, it was my classroom, my textbook, my studio, and my research lab. I went there every week and spent almost the whole day every single time. Those were the golden days - I miss them terribly.
This is very informative VDO about the MUSEUM of ART.
a collection of collection, that's what a museum is all about.. It can teach you great deal of history and appreciate great and abstract beauty..
