Luggage Policy

We have several high profile event coming up in our city and we are looking to modify our luggage policy.  What is the policy at your venue?  Do you allow guests to bring bags of all sizes in?  Do you keep them for the guests?  If you do not allow any large bags inside, has there been negative feedback from guests?

Parents
  • The Met does not allow guests to bring in luggage.  From our Visitor Guidelines:

    • Large umbrellas and large backpacks must be checked (coat check facilities are available at all locations).
    • Small backpacks may be brought into the galleries if they are carried on your front or side.
    • Luggage and musical instruments are not permitted in the galleries and will not be accepted at the coat check.

    There are certainly guests that are unhappy with the policy, but it is not something that we consider changing as it is a security issue.
