Getting in: after security and vaccination checks, scan your pass at any of the kiosks in the Great Hall to receive a ticket. Present your ticket at any gallery entrance for admission.
Please note: admission to the museum grants you complimentary same-day admission to The Met Cloisters. Therefore, your pass will not need to be scanned at these museums if you visit them on the same day as your visit to The Met. You will need to show your museum ticket at entry.
The following groups are entitled to "pay-as-you-wish" to enter The Metropolitan Museum of Art:
- New York State residents
- Students from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut
- If you fit any of the criteria above you may choose not to scan your pass for admission, but you will be asked to provide a valid I.D. upon entry along with a donation to the Museum. Children under the age of 12 are always admitted free of charge.
