About The Met Fifth Avenue

The Met Fifth Avenue is the primary museum building for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The building is located at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile on the eastern edge of Central Park in Manhattan's Upper East Side. In December 2021, Agnes Hsu-Tang and her husband Oscar Tang donated $125 million towards renovations at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the grant has since expanded to $500M USD for the new Tang Wing for Modern Art set for completion in 2030.
