The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an encyclopedic museum on Fifth Avenue whose collection spans 5,000 years of art from around the world — the largest art museum in the Americas. Founded in 1870, the Met's two million square feet hold the Temple of Dendur, one of the world's great Egyptian collections, definitive holdings of European painting from Duccio to Vermeer to Van Gogh, the American Wing, the Costume Institute, and encyclopedic collections of Asian, Islamic, African, and Oceanic art. Its Fifth Avenue facade and Great Hall anchor Museum Mile.
