Things To Do At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art

Yeah you can go for the art and the culture, but that's sooo basic.

Get Lost

The Met is huge. It's bigger than Kim Kardashian's rear. In fact, it is so cavernous that some people have gone missing there and were never heard from again. So, go ahead, get lost.

People Watch

The Met draws thousands of visitors every day. Literally, thousands. Do you have any idea how many of those people are worth looking at? Quite a few, from the sexy tourists you wished weren't tourists to the ones toting fanny packs and physical maps. These people are practically more interesting than the art, so consider the Met not only a museum but also a zoo.

Going to the Met is like getting a copy of every issue of House & Garden back to the beginning of time. I'm also certain you could find some of this stuff on Etsy.

Go On A Date

The Met is a great place to go on a date for various reasons:

1. It's technically free so you don't have to spend any money and still won't look cheap.

2. Even on a busy day the atmosphere is surprisingly intimate.

3. You can show off your brains. Know something about art history? Here's an opportunity to show that off. Or, if your date is dumb, just make stuff up.

4. Brand & Angie do it.

Also, there's lots of suggestive artwork to get you in the mood.

Snapchat

Between all the marble penises, painted breasts, and gilded codpieces, there are so many opportunities for you to make your own Art History Snapchats it's impossible to imagine why you wouldn't. Also, they are more likely to be SFW.

Drink

Unfortunately you can't bring liquids, let alone liquor, into the museum BUT they do have a few watering holes scattered throughout, and you can definitely get a drink or two there. Alcohol just makes you feel classier, you know?

Play Hide and Seek

The museum guards may not exactly approve, but as long you don't knock anything over you should be fine. It sounds like a very Eloise thing to do, no?

Plan A Heist

I don't recommend actually pulling a Winona and stealing something, but if you and your friends feel like getting in touch with your inner Carmen Sandiego there is nowhere better to indulge. Metaphorically, of course.

Find Your Doppleganger

It's a fact* that there are over 15,000,000 different people depicted throughout all of the works of art contained within the museum. It may take a while but you'll be able to find one who looks like you...I mean out of 15,000,000 there has to be at least ONE.

*Yes, I made this up, but it sounds reasonable.

It's such an obvious reason to go, but whatever. #basic
