To The Met!

Living so close to NYC all Purchase students should take advantage of all of the inexpensive and easy things it has to offer. One thing in particular our city has to offer is all of the Museums, such as: the Moma, the Guggenheim, the Museum of Natrual History and the Body Museum, and yes some of them can get expensive. But there is one in particular that is FREE! That is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When you get into the Met it has a list of prices that is:

Adults$25
Seniors (65 and older)$17
Students$12
                                                  Members (Join Now)Free
                                                      Children under 12 (accompanied by an adult)Free


...but remember all of these are SUGGESTED so you can pay what you like. Of course a donation is recommended, but as little as $ 0.25 will suffice. Now the Met is huge and should be an all day thing. Honestly since its free you can leave for lunch (so you don't have to pay those overpriced cafeteria prices) and come back no money lost! Take your time and try to see as much as you can! There hours are:


Tuesday–Thursday: 9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.*
Friday and Saturday: 9:30 a.m.–9:00 p.m.*
Sunday: 9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.*
Closed Monday (except Met Holiday Mondays), Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and January 1


There is more than enough time to get to the Met throughout the week so I highly recommend it! Round trip from the Metro North to Grand Central is only $15 and the subway is only $2.50 a ride and plus the Loop is free to Metro North!
