Met or MoMA?If you can only visit one museum, I'd say visit MoMA. Others will say the Metropolitan. They're both great and very different. MoMA is much smaller and more manageable. And it's about modern art.
The Modern, as MoMA is referred to by New Yorkers, was fully renovated from 2002 to 2004 and is an incredible piece of architecture. The Met is a giant institution that covers almost everything from Egyptian, Greek & Roman Art to Modern Art and Photography.
Adult admissions to both is US$20.00 but MoMA is free on Fridays from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. At the Met admission is "suggested", so that one can pay whatever they feel they can afford and get in.
