Metropolitan Museum of Art

    Built in 1872, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most famous art museums in the world, more often called the Met. It's located on the 5th Avenue New York, where there are many other amazing places (State Empire Building, New York Public Library, Central Park etc.). It has extensive collections, from Ancient Egyptian artifacts, Roman and Greek sculptures, work of Medieval Renaissance European masters as well as many modern art pieces. In addition to artwork, there are also collections of musical instruments, ancient weapons from around the world.
    The official website of the Met is amazing. The index is very interactive; it gives us the impression as if we are entering the museum in person, with these scuptures and architectures right displayed in front of us. Also shown on the index is the current exhibitions on show, which really helps in planning the tour to the Met. After clicking into the main info page, there are various links that display the amazing exhibits, really interesting things ranging from artifacts of Yuan China, modern furniture, contemporary photography to Roman Mosaics. All these show that the Met is really a great place with so comprehensive collections, compared to the much smaller ones like the High.
