The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vast galleries accommodate sharp shifts in era and style, placing Jackson Pollock’s abstract expressionism in the same building as canvases by Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Van Gogh. Immersive spaces let you step directly into design history, whether walking through a reconstructed Victorian room styled with 1800s furniture or examining the architecture of the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie House Room. The massive Egyptian collection spans millions of paintings and tombs, and an onsite cafeteria offers a spot to rest.
