There's still time to enjoy the best of summer at The Met Cloisters and The Met Fifth Avenue. Unwind among the herbs and flowers in a medieval garden, delight in Alex Da Corte's charming sculpture and spectacular views of Central Park on The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, or create your own art-inspired tradition.

In accordance with New York City mandate, the Museum requires all visitors age 12 and older to be vaccinated against Covid-19. Masks are required for all visitors. Read our visitor guidelines for details.
