Every day, the Met's Great Hall becomes a melting pot of people looking for art and inspiration. Just like the art in the galleries, the Museum's visitors come from all around the world. It's no wonder that we've received a few questions from kids who are curious about just how many people visit the Museum (hint: a lot!) and where those people are coming from.
Did you know that there are people working at the Met who are just as interested in this question as you are? Part of their job is to find out who's coming to the Met and what those people like to do or see when they're here.
We turned to Market Research Associate Margaret Choo to answer some of these #MetKids questions and provide some fun information about all of the people visiting the Met. Margaret and her team were excited to tackle this question. Here's what they reported:
