Admission Tickets

New York State residents and NY, NJ, CT students:

  • The amount you pay for tickets is up to you.
  • If you wish to pay less than the general admission ticket prices, you may purchase your ticket at one of The Met’s locations with a valid ID. No advance reservations are required.

There are no additional costs for exhibitions. Your ticket provides same-day entry to both Met locations. Continue to purchase a ticket below if you do not already have a pass or voucher for admission to the Museum.

Members: Your card is your ticket, no reservations required. Once inside, present your card and proceed to the galleries.

Visiting in a group? For information about bringing an adult or student group or scheduling a group tour, see Group Visits.

The Ancient Near Eastern and Cypriot Art galleries, the European Paintings (1250–1800) galleries, and The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing are closed for renovation. See a list of currently closed galleries.
