Insider’s Tour of the Met Museum with Former Guard and Author

Overview
New listing at introductory price with highly experienced guide! Patrick is the author of ALL THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD, a forthcoming memoir from Simon & Schuster about a decade he spent as a guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has spent over two thousand days inside the Met’s galleries and is intimately familiar (to say the least!) with its collections and operations. Just as importantly, Patrick delights in sharing his love of art and has spent countless hours illuminating the Met’s collections via his stories and observations.

New York Times bestselling author Hope Jahren writes: “ALL THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD makes me yearn to have Patrick Bringley at my side in every museum I will visit for the rest of my life."

Please join Patrick for a unique and in-depth tour where we will explore several distinct wings of the museum, encountering masterpieces and discussing the hidden details of how the museum works.

Great tour, great stories, great insight. I loved all the little aspects of the space and perspective of a guard Patrick brought to the tour. Not just your average art tour, it's also about the space.

Outstanding tour from a different point of view. I’ve visited the NY Metropolitan Museum a million times. This tour highlights obscure holdings, insights, and little known facts and trivia. This is the tour for NYers who think “been there-done that.”
