Soaring ceilings, sweeping staircases, a collection of artwork that inspires and touches, an evocative sense of history—these things make the Met utterly romantic. Forget that it's a museum. It's a gracious place to stroll arm in arm, its fountains and hidden corners reminiscent of Europe's grand palaces, its Egyptian collection—especially the Temple of Dendur—magnificent enough to transport you, if just briefly, to the faraway Nile. If you're searching for a place to buy your love a singular gift, browse the Met's fabulous store.
