Metropolitan Museum of Art to partner with Airbnb and rent out "Period Rooms"
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Airbnb have launched a partnership that will allow visitors to rent out several of the institution’s historical rooms for a night at a time. The announcement comes after reports that the museum is facing a budget shortfall of $10 million.
"Metbnb" pricing seems to be targeted at the luxury tourism market and wealthy New Yorkers looking to book an exclusive staycation. The Frank Lloyd Wright designed Little House is renting for $2,500/night, while the ancient Roman Villa of P. Fannius Synistor room can be procured for $2,000/night. On the extremes is the extravagant bedroom from the Venetian Sagredo Palace, which is renting for $5,000/night, while the 18th-century New York Dutch Room can be snagged for the almost affordable $1,300/night.
