10. MET (Museum of Metropolitan Art)

Affectionately referred to as the MET, the Museum of Metropolitan Art holds the distinction of being the largest art museum in the country. It also rates among the top ten in the world, with a permanent collection that boasts over two million pieces; cared for by seventeen different curatorial departments, each with its own staff.

Notable collections include those from Ancient Egypt, works of art from the European masters, as well as a thorough collection of modern and American art. There are also extensive collections of Asian, Islamic, Byzantine, and African art. The collection of musical instruments, estimated to be more than 5,000 pieces from across the globe, is also very unique. Some of the highlights include a breathtaking number of Asian instruments, each exquisitely carved from precious metals, and of course several Stradivarius violins.
