The Metropolitan Museum of Art has been named the world's #1 museum in the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice™ awards for the second sequential year. TripAdvisor highlights the top museums around the world based on the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings, gathered over a 12-month period.

Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The Met, commented: "We're thrilled that The Met is the recipient of this major travel award for the second year in a row. It is especially gratifying since the award is based on feedback from our visitors themselves. The Met had record attendance in 2015 and 2016, with our annual visitor numbers recently topping 6.7 million. With collections and exhibitions that extend from ancient artifacts to contemporary art, and with our three locations—The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Cloisters, and the new Met Breuer—there is truly something for everyone at The Met."

"From revered art galleries to thought-provoking memorials, these Travelers' Choice award-winners showcase the best the world has to offer in culture, science, and history," said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor. "Travelers planning to go to one of these top museums can save valuable time and have a better experience by booking special access tours or skip-the-line passes before they go."

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
