How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The Libertonian is a grand museum on the eastern edge of Middle Park, where a diamond deal takes place that links GTA IV with its two episodes.

The real place

The Met is on Fifth Avenue on the eastern edge of Central Park. The Libertonian sits in the same position in Middle Park, and its lobby is partly modelled on the Met's Great Hall. The name may also be a play on the Smithsonian.

Visiting

General admission is a fixed price for visitors from outside New York State. Arrive at opening time and head straight for the most popular galleries before they fill up.
