Watercolor of The Met Museum

Our Inspiration: The Met Facade daytime
The Met Fifth Avenue is one of the architectural glories of New York City. Since opening to the public at its current site on Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street in 1880, the Museum has undertaken several major programs of expansion and remodeling. The building has been greatly enlarged and various additions now completely surround the original structure, which is set back in Central Park. Today, The Met's Beaux-Arts entryway serves as one of Manhattan's most iconic landmarks.
