Since reading "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler", I have been obsessed with the Met. Before I lived in New York, I made sure to stop at the Met every time I visited the city.

I find a new "favorite" piece or spot each time I come.
A membership is worth it if you plan to visit the museum at least 3 times a year - take advantage of having one of the greatest museums in the world right at your fingertips! Just don't try to come here on Mondays because they are closed (except for certain holiday weekends). Look at the very reasonable "Met Net" membership...
