The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is home to art pieces from around the world that date back more than 5,000 years. Since it was founded in 1870, the Met as it’s popularly known has been a center of rare and beautiful objects. The museum hosts numerous events and exhibitions and is a favorite spot to experience numerous cultures across various time periods. Below are some interesting facts about the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

1. The Met cannot be toured in a single day considering it occupies a massive two million square feet. Experts suggest guests should narrow down to specific pieces of art as well as cultural or geographical areas they’d really love to see.

2. The museum’s front facade has remained incomplete for over a century. The magnificent facade facing 5th avenue which was built in 1895 and designed by Richard Morris Hunt was never completed due to lack of funds.

3. The Met stopped using its iconic metal buttons in 2013. For those who visited the museum before 2013, guests received a metal button with the museum’s logo which was proof of admission. The rising prices of metal informed the decision to drop the use of metal buttons that were incorporated in 1971 for stickers that are in use today.

4. The museum has the world’s oldest piano which dates back to 1720. Bartolomeo Cristofori, an Italian gentleman, was the brain behind the piano’s innovation.
