reported their visit was highly motivated by a trip to the museum, and $341 million for those who said the exhibitions were a key motivation, yielding an estimated tax benefit of $51.1 million and $34.1 million, respectively. The full-year estimate of visitor spending in New York, by out-of-town visitors to the museum in fiscal year 2015, is $5.41 billion. During that fiscal year (July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015), The Metropolitan Museum of Art welcomed a record 6.3 million visitors, 26 percent of them from NYC, and 74 percent from outside the five boroughs. Economic impact is calculated using the standard estimated sales tax rate. The latest economic impact survey was conducted by the museum’s office of market research. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is located at 1000 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

history and other exhibitions clearly influenced the economic impact number, which is the highest ever reported by our survey,” said Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of the Metropolitan Museum. In the summer 2015 period, the Costume Institute’s exhibition “China: Through the Looking Glass,” on view May 7 through Sept. 7, drew 815,992 visitors.

And “Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends” had a total attendance of 254,750 from June 30 through Oct. 4. The survey was conducted from May 12 through Sept. 7. During that period, the Met welcomed 2.5 million visitors, 74 percent of whom came from outside the five boroughs of New York City - 28 percent were domestic and 46 percent were international tourists. Eighty-three percent of travelers reported staying overnight in the city and, of these, 75 percent stayed in a hotel, B&B, hostel, or rented apartment. The average length of stay was 6.7 days. These out-of-town visitors reported spending an average of $1,145 per person ($762 for lodging, sightseeing, entertainment, admission to museums, and local transportation, and another $383 for shopping).
