“Make the Met Yours” is a quote from This World Renown Art Museum
When is the last time you have visited The Metropolitan Museum Art? Quite frankly I don’t go as much as I should either. We both need to go more often. With exhibitions changing frequently, there is no excuse to not make it a regular habit. Equally important The Met has the philosophy of “Make the Met Yours”. To explain further that means that they are dedicated to making the museum ACCESSIBLE to all. As a matter of fact, that is probably one of the many reasons it has been around over 150 Years!
The MET has an entire department that is able to assist you in planning your visit. You can call the ACCESS Program at 212-650-2010 and talk with someone directly about any services or classes you might be interested in. Furthermore, they welcome any feedback or ideas you want to give them on ways they can improve. The Met must be after my heart because I find this to be truly exceptional customer service.
When you decide to go be sure to check out their autism resources page with wonderful social narratives you can review before your visit. Don’t have a printer? Certainly, the museum can a have copy waiting for you when you attend. In this case, be sure you call 212-651-2010 and set everything up beforehand. With a little notice, you can as they say “Make the Met Yours”. Ongoing programs/group tours are available throughout the year. Explore all the possibilities here. Not to mention this is all FREE?! Yeah, that’s right! FREE!
