7Enjoy Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Pay-What-You-Wish for NY Residents)
While the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) typically charges an admission fee, New York State residents and students from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut can enter on a pay-what-you-wish basis. With world-class collections spanning 5,000 years of history, The Met is one of the best museums in the world. Even if you aren’t a resident, strolling through its outdoor areas and admiring the building itself, particularly from Central Park, is a treat.
