The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Upper East Side features art for everyone. Visitors can see various types of art including European, Modern and Contemporary, Medieval, Greek and Roman, Egyptian, Africa and the Americas, European Sculpture, Arms and Armor—you name it, this museum has got it. Before you go, explore #MetKids with your kids to get them primed, ready and excited to learn all about the world of art. On the big day, forget the adult map of the museum—download the Family Map instead. If your child has a particular interest in, say, arms and armor, you can even download curated Family Guides that take you through themes or ideas in a fun-filled, kid-friendly way. Once you've done as many guides as humanly possible, participate in one of the museum's fun Family Programs that include the likes of story time and art-making!
