Metropolitan Museum of Art introduces mandatory $25 adult admission fee
New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art will implement a mandatory $25 fee for adult visitors, ending its long-standing pay-as-you-wish policy. While this new requirement applies to most adults, residents of New York State along with students from New Jersey and Connecticut can still pay what they wish. Children under 12 will continue to receive free admission. To enhance the value of full-price tickets, the museum announced these tickets will be valid for three consecutive days across its three locations. The policy revision aims to provide visitors with extended access to the museum's collections and exhibitions.
