The Metropolitan Museum of Art! Let's explore its wonders together.

Mexico Tour: In-Depth Tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art** When our journey took us to New York, an unexpected art journey quietly unfolded. In this vibrant city, there is a cultural sanctuary that cannot be missed - the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This time, we deliberately detoured to New York to immerse ourselves in this art palace. Accommodation and Location We chose to stay in an apartment on the Upper East Side, just a stone's throw away from Fifth Avenue. Every morning, just a few minutes' walk would take us to this cultural gem - the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The convenient location provided us with excellent conditions for our art journey. First Exploration of the Metropolitan Museum of Art As soon as we entered the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it felt like stepping into a cultural universe. The museum covers a vast area, occupying about three or four blocks, with at least 100,000 square meters. It became our daily routine to leave only when the museum closed. To our delight, there was a restaurant inside the museum, so we didn't have to go out for meals. The Charm of the Chinese Pavilion As Chinese tourists, the Chinese Pavilion was naturally the highlight of this trip. Upon entering the Chinese Pavilion, the murals of Guangsheng Temple came into view. The vast space and large murals not only brought grandeur and shock but also a sense of familiarity and intimacy. From the authentic works of Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, to Mi Fu, each national treasure was deeply moving. Especially the Tang Dynasty's dry lacquer Buddha and the Arhats from Yixian, the vivid and delicate sculptures seemed to bring the presence of real people. The second-floor corridor, showcasing Chinese ceramics, was even more captivating. Ticket Prices and Discounts The ticket price of the Metropolitan Museum of Art used to be a suggested price, but now it has been changed to a fixed price of $25. However, the good news is that tourists with a Chinese UnionPay debit card starting with 622 can enjoy free admission. Moreover, a single ticket purchase allows for three days of viewing, making the visit very flexible and considerate. The Significance of the Museum The power of art is infinite; it can inspire those who come into contact with it and enhance everyone's beliefs. The existence of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the best embodiment of this power. Each exhibit tells the story of historical vicissitudes and cultural heritage, allowing people to appreciate and ponder more about culture and history. Conclusion Before our 10-year US visa expires, we plan to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art again. There are too many stories and artworks waiting for us to discover and experience. Art knows no borders; it can connect people's hearts and provide a peaceful cultural haven amidst busy lives. We hope every visitor to New York can have the opportunity to experience the artistic charm brought by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
