At the Metropolitan Museum of Art — the Met — a knowledgeable guide will lead you on an expert tour that focuses on the museum’s highlights. Moving through key galleries, you’ll get an in-depth look at a broad spectrum of art, from paintings and sculpture to jewellery, ancient relics and notable architectural elements within the collection.
Along the way, your guide will explain the historical and artistic context of selected works, helping you connect what you see to wider stories and styles. The tour is kept intentionally small, limited to 18 people, so you’ll have a more personal experience and better opportunities to ask questions as you explore the Met’s varied treasures.
