Overview

Easily one of the best art museum in the world, with works spanning 6 continents and over 6,000 years, the Metropolitan is so vast you could easily spend days inside. If you don’t have days to spare, our Met Express Tour cuts to the core.
Your 2-hour tour starts when you meet your guide and small group of no more than 15 people at the entrance to the Met. The small group size ensures that you can ask all the questions you want and never miss a word of what your guide is saying. After a brief intro, it’s off to find some of the most bizarre and quirky pieces hidden within the enormous collection. A hippo with a limp? Check. A wardrobe malfunction from ancient Egypt? Yup. There’s even some kinky flemish dinnerware (if age appropriate, of course). You’ll also get the funny and fascinating backstories on more famous works and learn about the wild lives of artists like Monet and Van Gogh. Don’t forget about the butt-themed scavenger hunt; prepare yourself accordingly.

Stop At: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 5th Ave, New York City, NY 10028-0198

This is an art museum tour for people who don’t usually take art museum tours. If you are visiting with young people, or don’t have much experience with art, or simply want to learn some unique things about famous works, this is an entertaining way to see some of the finest works in America, and have a good laugh while you’re at it.

All of our guides are seasoned art lovers who have spent years studying the works in the Met. This twisted tour gives them a chance to show off their knowledge without the stiffness that usually characterizes museum tours. It's a unique experience for people of all ages and experiences and once you’ve taken it, you’ll never look at art in the same way.

John was our knowledgable, passionate and articulate guide. He made a superb job of picking 2 hours out of days worth of possible viewings, and engaged in ways that connected with kids and us oldies both. We’ll worth it. Next time I’ll take the 3 hour tour.

Ryan, our Met guide was very personable and knowledgeable. He did a great job of showing us the highlights of the Met in just two hours. He had lots of interesting anecdotes that brought the art and artifacts to life. Highly recommend Ryan and this tour!

I have been to the met several times but don't know much about art, so hearing details about what you were seeing was very interesting to me. Rather than just seeing, you are learning.
