Ghost Stories: A Mysterious, Macabre Tour in the Metropolitan Museum

Ghost Stories: A Mysterious, Macabre Tour in the Metropolitan Museum

Overview

We offer a unique way to explore the Metropolitan Museum, through carefully curated, themed, interactive tours. We include discussion, activities, and handouts to create a distinctive experience. Tourgoers will explore works of art from around the world and from many cultures, looking at connections among them, and exploring their relation to the theme.

From the spooky to the scary, the macabre to the mysterious, the ghostly to the ghoulish, the interactive “Ghost Stories” will take visitors on a tour of things frightful in the Metropolitan Museum. Participants will travel across cultures and across time to see Flying Dutchmen and funerary masks, still lifes and sculpture. We’ll look at Egyptian, American, and European works of art, to name a few, plus do a fun activity. All the while, we’ll look at how different cultures depict the fearsome and the gruesome, in pursuit of what scares us…and why.
This tour is recommended for children 9 and up.

My family from Colorado was in town, so we were looking for something fun to do with the kids. This was the perfect tour! We got to see different parts of the museum, learn facts about it, and listen to stories about specific art pieces. It was interactive and engaging. I would absolutely do another one of these tours! Thanks for the wonderful experience!

I had a good time. It was nice to hear the story behind the art. We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the art and the museum.

We’re so glad you had a good time! Thank you so much for joining us for our “Ghost Stories” tour. While we do run it year round, we think it’s especially fun around Halloween time, and are glad you could join us! Hope to see you back on another tour!

Boring, didn't live up to our expectations, nothing interesting and nothing new, unfortunately, only one positive moment - we again plunged into a unique atmosphere “The Met”…

We're so sorry you felt that way--we try to bring visitors a unique experience by making connections among different works of art on our tours, and we're very sorry it didn't live up to your expectations.
