The Metropolitan Museum of Art has been named the world’s #1 museum in the 2015 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice™ awards. TripAdvisor highlights the top museums around the world based on the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings, gathered over a 12-month period.
Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of the Met, commented: “Our visitors’ enthusiasm for the Met is the best measure of our success. We pride ourselves on the fact that every visit to the Met can be a new journey—across time and around the globe—and we are thrilled that our audience has had such a positive response to that experience. The TripAdvisor award is also particularly gratifying in a year of record-breaking attendance of 6.3 million.”
“Honoring nearly 600 institutions worldwide, the Travelers’ Choice awards have recognized the favorite museums that serve as cultural treasure troves for our community of millions,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor. “These world-class museums provide an enriching experience that can be both inspiring and educational for travelers around the globe.”
