Avoid the long lines and buy a VIP entrance ticket from your hosts.
There is always something to please here: the superb Impressionism collection, the Modern Wing, the new Picasso special exhibit, the Asian collection, the photography exhibits or the Thorne miniature rooms. We sell tickets for $21 ($2 off regular admission) and they include admission to special exhibits as the VIP that you are and no waiting in long lines at the front door to get in (use the Members’ entrance).
