New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art holds 3 works by Michelangelo (1475–1564) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
As a painter, Michelangelo's surviving works are few but extraordinary; the Sistine Chapel ceiling must be seen in situ to understand its physical and psychological scale. The panel paintings in Florence reveal the obsessive draftsmanship that underpinned everything he made.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive art museums — over two million objects spanning 5,000 years. The Impressionist and Post-Impressionist galleries, the European Paintings collection, and the American Wing are particular highlights.
Planning your visit to New York
New York's major museums are spread across Manhattan — the Metropolitan Museum and Guggenheim are on the Upper East Side (4/5/6 subway), while MoMA is in Midtown and the Whitney is in the Meatpacking District. The Metropolitan suggests a donation rather than charging a fixed fee for New York State residents; out-of-state visitors pay the listed price. Allow a full day for the Met; the other collections are more manageable in a half-day.
