The Met 360° Project: Great Hall

Architect Richard Morris Hunt designed this majestic space in 1902. He never could have imagined that today the Museum’s main entry greets more than six million visitors a year. Now you can experience its Neoclassical grandeur in a way no one ever has before.

Come explore not just behind the scenes, but everywhere in 360°. This video lets you soar past the colonnades, up toward the oculus in the ceiling, and cast a look down over the Grand Staircase and balcony. Aren’t you curious who creates those colossal flower arrangements when you’re still asleep?
