Crowds and quieter times

The museum advises that Thursday mornings are often quieter than other days, and mornings are generally quieter than afternoons and evenings; the 81st Street entrance tends to be less crowded than the main 82nd Street entrance. Its sensory-friendly map lists quieter galleries (e.g. Asian Art 206–253, Robert Lehman Collection 950–965) and busier ones (Egyptian Art 100–138, 19th–early 20th century European Paintings 800–830, the Great Hall).
