I lived in New York for 35 years, and I never really saw that many museums, apart from the Museum of Natural History. I went to the Met during a high school trip, and it was frankly the most boring thing in the world. I think that had more to do with the woman showing us around, rather than the museum itself, though. We spent half an hour in front of one damn painting as she droned on and on and on. Even my teacher was looking bored.

I've been to the Brooklyn Museum several times. They also have a very nice Egyptian display, and I used to linger there for as long as I could. On another school trip to DC we went to a couple of wonderful museums.
