| This is a great museum, and the price is not that high. My family and I were in NYC in December. We visited the American Museum of Natural History, which have the same policy of "pay what you want". We were there at the opening, because, as the Met, it's a pretty big museum and you (really) need the day if you want to make a full tour of it. We then had 2 solutions. Waiting who know how long behind around 30-40 persons to have tickets, or go to the paying kiosk. Well, in that paying kiosk, you cannot "pay as you want". But I still choosed to pay full price instead of waisting my time in a line with my 7yo kids. We went on the Met on our last day in NYC, purely randomly. And, of course, I was happy not to pay a hundred bucks for the 4 of us (admitting that it's also the price for kids ?). But due to the quality of the exhibitions, it's a normal price. Perhaps 20$ might have been better. Disclaimer : I'm not american, so I don't know the "normal" policy for museum entrance. Here in France, you usually have to pay for museum, except a few days per years. For example, the Louvre museum in Paris is around 20$. |
