On the MET website, go to admissions page, and look for the Help section. Send an email asking how Student is defined. Tell them your circumstances to see if you qualify for a student rate.

Hi...Really sorry but I can not give you a factual answer to that question....you could easily spend three days in there....I would email the Met directly and ask them....Sorry couldnt help

I seen a lot of people wearing back packs of different sizes...and all belongings are checked by sercurity on entry....

Gallery closures are posted daily, so check the morning of your visit to see which ones are closed. But prior to your visit, you should plan what you want to see in the Met. The museum is so large that you can't possibly see it all, so based on your wife's interests, determine what galleries or works are "must see" and prioritize them so that you can see all that you desire and not walk out of the Met wishing you had gotten to this gallery or that you didn't see that work. On our recent visit, we were there for about 5 hours and still didn't see everything on our list! Enjoy!!

You will have to call the museum on this.

Oops. Sorry. Was in NY only a few days. So don’t know. Please contact them Sure they’ll tell you.

You can stay as long as you like while the museum is open. I will tell you though two hours is recommended because that is all you can take in without getting overloaded with information. Check out the Greek and Egyptian Galleries and then the special exhibitions first.

Good to know. Admission used to be "suggested price" and you could pay less, but if that is gone, agree that it is worth the money and good to support the arts.

The Met is still closed and won't reopen until Phase Three of the reopening of New York City. Your best bet is to check the New York City Government Site to see when the City will be open again to tourism. The City just reopened on June 8th and there are parts of the City that need to cleaned up since the nights of looting. Please check the websites and tourism boards.
