The Met Facade Tote*The Met Store Flash Sale

A museum tote bag makes the perfect gift.

This 100% cotton canvas tote features an architectural rendering (1896) of The Met’s facade. The Met Fifth Avenue is one of the architectural glories of New York City; since the building opened to the public in 1880, the Museum has undertaken several major programs of expansion and remodeling. The original building has been greatly enlarged, and various additions now completely surround the original structure, which is set back in Central Park. Today, The Met’s Beaux-Arts entryway serves as one of Manhattan’s most iconic landmarks.
