$19 -- The Met: Skip the Line Pass w/Gift Shop Discount

The Deal

Every year, millions from around the world flock to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which The New York Times calls "one of the world's premier cultural institutions." With this exclusive Local Deal for $19, skip the long general admission line and spend the day exploring the Met’s great halls and renowned galleries.

Discover current exhibitions like "Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity," which The New York Times says showcases the details of the modern era in "fresh, groundbreaking ways," and "African Art, New York, and the Avant-Garde," a "highly compelling show" (The New York Times).

From Ancient Egypt's The Temple of Dendur to 20th-century masterpieces, the collections at the Met span 5,000 years of history. Tour these sites or take the Museum Highlights Tour, which Frommer's recommends, saying "even some New Yorkers who've spent many hours in the museum could profit from this once-over." 

For $35, get admission for two, or for $60, save more and take a group of four. All deals also include a $10-off coupon per person if you spend $50 or more at The Met Store (see below for locations).
