Musee - The Metropolitan Museum of Art -

It could take days, even weeks, to cover the Met's two million square feet of gallery space, so it's best to ve selective. There are excellent collections of African, Oceanic and Islamic art, along with more than 3,000 European paintings from the Middle Ages up through the 'fin de siecle' period, including major works by Titian, Brueghel, Rembrandt, Goya and Degas. Egyptology fans should head straight for the glass-walled atrium housing the Temple of Dendur.
The American Wing Courtyard, which borders Central Park, has benches, a trickling fountain, trees, ivy and stunning examples of Tiffany stained glass.
-from Time Out Guides, New York 14th Edition

According to the Time Out Guides, "if you'd like to grab a drink or a snack in less-than-hectic surroundings, try the American Wing Cafe." ...to tell the truth, we need to be in a line around for 20 minutes before having seats on weekend.
But Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas are great, European paintings and Agyptian Arts are fabulous as always, and particularly I love American paintings such as "A Gorge in the Mountains," "The Teton Range" and "Washington Crossing the Delaware" as well as Tiffany glasses.

To be a Sponsor of the Museum (i.e. an exhibition), we need $50,000/month totaling $150,000-$250,000, which depends on the period of the exhibition.
