where is the met ny located
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, colloquially the Met, located in New York City, is the largest art museum in the United States and among the most visited art museums in the world. Its permanent collection contains more than two million works, divided among seventeen curatorial departments.
After negotiations with the City of New York in 1871, the Met was granted the land between the East Park Drive, Fifth Avenue, and the 79th and 85th Street Transverse Roads in Central Park. A red-brick and stone mausoleum was designed by American architect Calvert Vaux and his collaborator Jacob Wrey Mould.
