According to the museum's annual reports, the Met receives an average of around 7 million visitors each year, which equates to an average of around 19,000 visitors per day. However, this figure can vary considerably, with the museum seeing significantly higher numbers of visitors on certain days, particularly during peak tourist periods or when major exhibitions are on display.
To give a more specific example, in 2019, the Met saw an average of 19,431 visitors per day, with the highest daily attendance reaching 61,481 visitors on April 13, 2019, which coincided with the opening weekend of the exhibition "The Medici: Portraits and Politics, 1512-1570."
It's worth noting that these figures are based on the museum's reported annual attendance and average daily attendance and may not reflect daily visitor counts for a specific day or the impact of more recent developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
