NYC art museum, with "the" (3)
I believe the answer is:
met
'nyc art museum with the' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for met that I've seen before include "Got together" , "Came together, encountered" , "Opera company" , "Bumped into" , "Encountered by chance or arrangement" .)
