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

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.

We suggest that you wear sneakers or comfortable walking shoes--and brush up on your wizarding knowledge! Wizarding gear is always welcome, but wands must be small enough to stow away in a bag.

Evan was our tour guide and she was AMAZING! Her attention to detail and knowledge in mythology and all things magical made experience so special. Evan is witty, very smart and easily related to my moody teenager. I loved the interactive activities for kids and adults. I highly recommend a visit to The Met with Evan!

I can not say enough about this virtual tour. Due to Covid, we are not quite ready to venture into the city. Evan was amazing with my 9 year old who was engaged the entire session. She learned so much and enjoyed the interactive activities. I have recommended this activity to other parents in town. Upon completion each child gets a formal invitation to the MET wizardry school. Can not wait to sign up for future events.

My Girl Scout troop had the most amazing time participating in the virtual tour. Even those girls who do not love Harry Potter were participating. I’m especially grateful for the list of resources we received after the tour.
