What is the street address of the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

The street address of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s main building is 1000 Fifth Avenue.

The address identifies The Met Fifth Avenue, the museum’s principal New York location on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The building stands along the eastern edge of Central Park at 82nd Street, in the district commonly known as Museum Mile. Its postal address is 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10028.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art also operates The Met Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park and has a separate modern and contemporary art location, The Met Breuer, though the latter closed as a Met venue in 2020. Those sites should not be substituted for the main museum’s Fifth Avenue address.

“1 Museum Mile” is a descriptive nickname for the avenue’s cultural corridor, not the museum’s street address. Madison Avenue is nearby, while 200 Central Park South is a different Manhattan address entirely.
