Griffins, Goblet & Gold: An Interactive Magical Arts Museum Tour

Overview

Join us for “Griffins, Goblets, and Gold,” an interactive ‘Magical Arts’ tour in the Metropolitan Museum inspired by a well-loved book series about magic and wizards. See spaces and places that might remind you of those in the books, from part of an actual castle to mythical creatures that resemble those in the story. You’ll participate in activities, explore the museum from a wizard’s perspective… and maybe even do a little magic. (Appropriate interactive wizards gear is encouraged.) Advance reservations required. Please allow two hours for your tour.

Please note: There are no objects or replicas of objects from the movies in the Metropolitan Museum.

These tours are in no way endorsed by or affiliated with J.K. Rowling, Bloomsbury Publishing, Arthur Levine Books, Scholastic, Little, Brown, Pottermore or Warner Bros.

Evan was so knowledgeable about the museum and also able to adapt and change the tour as needed to meet our son’s interests. She really let him guide the show, and then made what we looked at all the more interesting and magical! Highly recommend!

This tour was FANTASTIC! Evan's extensive knowledge of myth and the museum is surpassed only by her warm and inviting attitude towards all things magical. I was so impressed by Evan's ability to connect the fantasies I love with the histories available in the museum - it was such a rare and fun experience to see my favorite 'fake' worlds come to life in this very real one. Would highly suggest - appropriate for all ages, and fun with friends!!

Thank you so much for that absolutely lovely review! It's very much appreciated, and it was an absolute pleasure to discuss all things fantasy and magical, and to look at the works of art with a “fantastic” twist! ! Looking forward to seeing you on another tour!
