Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me!

But who cares? Big retailers are making record profits!

That's why we support the Durban Marshall Credit Card Bill!

See? Banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing megastore profits, they deserve it, don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores.

Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

Hello, everyone. I'm Andy Surwer, and welcome to At Bar Barron's and welcome to our guest, Max Holine, who is the CEO of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Max, great to see you. Thanks for joining us.

Thank you for having me.

So why don't we start off by you telling us about how big the museum is in terms of all the metrics

that you use to sort of talk about that?

Well, I'd say it's not a metric, but certainly the met is one of the great institutions

in the world, one of the most beloved museums that we have, and it's one among very few that are these intercopedic

institutions in the world. If you want to have some numbers we have about two

million objects it's very hard to sometimes count but it's an enormous amount of

art from all different cultures and throughout time.

We have about 2 million square feet of galleries, so that's really substantial.

Only very few museums have that on that scale.

We have about right now about 6.3 million visitors.

And there are many other things that I could see about 6.3 million visitors. And there are many other things that I could see about that.
