New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (or just “”The Met””) is the mother of all museums in the Americas.
It was founded in 1870 and is in fact the largest art museum in all of the Americas. The permanent collection contains over two million works.
The main location is at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along Museum Mile.
In 2021 it was the fourth most-visited art museum in the world.
A must see!
“If you want to become a real New Yorker, there’s only one rule:
You have to believe New York is, has been, and always will be the greatest city on earth. The center of the universe.” – Ellen R. Shapiro

New York was originally called New Amsterdam. The Dutch settled Manhattan in 1624 and for some time Manhattan was a part of the Dutch Republic.

The world’s skinniest skyscraper is now open at 111 West 57th Street. It measures 1,428-foot-tall and 91 stories high, and overlooks Central Park South. It’s built on a site once owned by the Steinway & Sons piano company, and is hence also known as the Steinway tower.
New York is back!
