The Met is closing up its rooftop garden not just for the season, but for the next five years.
This weekend is your final chance to pay a visit to the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden that sits atop The Metropolitan Museum of Art until 2030.
The popular outdoor terrace and bar is a favorite of many New Yorkers looking to sip a cocktail and take in a gorgeous view of the city skyline.
Located on the top floor of the museum, the garden is closing as part of a planned renovation project on a new wing of the museum. According to Time Out New York, the garden is getting an upgrade as well. When the garden reopens, it will be relocated and slightly larger as well.
The construction work is expected to take roughly five years.
Museum fans paying a final visit to the garden before its closure have been treated to “Ensemble,” an art installation featuring sculptures modeled after string instruments.
The final day to visit the rooftop garden is Oct. 19.
