Friends of the Library Fund Free Passes to The Met

The Parsippany Friends of the Library announced a program providing free admission to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for local residents. Each pass allows entry for two adults, while children under 12 can enter for free. Passes can be reserved online at www. parsippanylibrary. org, requiring patrons to pick them up and return them within three days.

The Met houses over 490,000 works of art, showcasing iconic pieces such as Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh and Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze. This initiative not only promotes cultural engagement but also supports the library's mission to enrich community experiences. Guided tours are available for those wanting to learn more about the museum's collections. The Friends of the Library fund this program through ongoing book sales and community events. This collaboration underscores the importance of local libraries in providing access to cultural resources.
