Hi, just wanted to stop by and show my support. I recently visited the cloisters and was moved to tears... its a shame more people dont know about it! keep up the great work!

[GreatMuseums]

@cfh99nyc Thanks so much! That's great that you were able to visit the Cloisters. You're right - too few people make it there and it's well worth the visit.

We invite you to check out GREAT MUSEUMS Facebook page, where you can see the latest goings on with GREAT MUSEUMS and where we welcome your comments.

I'm not entirely sure but you would most likely have to pay. I'm in an Art highschool and my Art teacher told me that its free for public highschool students. All you have to do is show your ID card.

But since you are in college you might have to pay the usual $25 ike everybody else that isnt a high school student. Thats what my teacher told me. I'm gonna go one of these days cause its only a few blocks from my school

[GreatMuseums]

@krados916 The recommended price for students is $12. However, the Met participates in several programs that include free admission for students. All New York City public school students, along with students from Bard Graduate Center, Barnard College, Columbia University, and the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, may visit the Museum for free. Please check with your school administrator to see if your student ID allows free admission to the Museum.

@daltonagre That's terrific - we're glad that you were able to see it. Great Museums has also produced programs about the Met's Chinese collection and about the acquisition strategy of the previous director, Philippe de Montebello, both of which you may enjoy on YouTube.
