Creator's Key Takeaways

What I strongly suggest you do is to take a look at the map, look at what's on display before you come and make some decisions about what you're going to see.

The problem with the food is that it was just so expensive. $66 for two sandwiches, a fruit salad, a cookie, a bag of chips, and three sodas.

I will say that if impressionism is your thing, you must visit the Met because And of course you have Van Go's self-portrait here.
