The Upper East Side’s Main Attraction Has A New Rule

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is upping its prices, something it hasn’t done since 1970. The MET’s pricing policy has always been on a pay-as-you-wish basis although they had a suggested donation fee of $25. As of March 1st, that is no longer a suggestion. The new pricing policy requires out-of-state visitors to pay $25, while children under 12 receive free admission and senior citizens pay $17. The current suggested fee of $25 will remain the same for New Yorkers, as well as Connecticut and New Jersey students with a valid ID. On the bright side, you’re safe Upper East Siders.
