Description
A massive, nostalgic collection of vintage metal museum admission tags and pins, primarily featuring the iconic "M" logo from the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA) in New York City. Before shifting to paper tickets and digital passes, these colorful, stamped metal tin tabs were clipped onto visitors' clothing, making them highly recognizable symbols of NYC cultural history. The collection primarily showcases the Met's classic serif "M" monogram overlaid with architectural geometry, but also includes specialized souvenir variants. Interspersed within the collection are institutional admission tabs from other notable New York museums, including "Neue Galerie" square pins and green "The Morgan" (Morgan Library & Museum) rectangular tags.
