Question

Which would you recommend-The Metropolitan Museum of Art or The American Museum of Natural History?

Answer 1

I've been to the Art one, and it was pretty amazing--I didn't even have time to get through the whole thing (apparently I missed the best parts) and still loved it.

Never been to the history museum though, so I have nothing to compare it too.  I'd recommend the Art Museum though

Answer 2

Why can't you do both? I can't choose between the two, they offer different perspectives but there's so much to take in. FYI, you do not have to pay the "Suggested Admission Price" @ The Met, pay whatever you want. All they require is a donation. You can pay 25 cents if you want. It's funded by NY taxpayer dollars anyway.

Answer 3

Although I love the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History is always a sure bet.  While people can often create lovely and thought-provoking art, the astounding complexity and stunning beauty of the natural world always inspires wonder in me.
