The American wing hosts the staircase from the Chicago Stock Exchange as well as the iconic portrait of Washington crossing the Delaware River. Learn about the turbulent and inspiring lives of several European painters including Vermeer, Seurat, and Van Gogh in the European wings.

American Museum of Natural History

After a break for lunch, move to the American Museum of Natural History where you’ll take a trip through time and space. The museum’s 33 million objects are spread through 28 different buildings. You’ll start by learning the museum’s history in the majestic Roosevelt Rotunda before moving onto hear how the dioramas are created as you explore the giant African mammals of the Akeley Hall. The creatures get even bigger as you move towards the dinosaur exhibits featuring some of the most complete collections of dinosaur skeletons anywhere in the world. From the gargantuan Titanosaur to the crowd-favorite T-Rex, even the most serious adult feels like a kid staring up at these beasts. You’ll then move on to hear about the North American Forests, featuring the giant Sequoia, before gaping up at the Blue Whale hanging overhead in the Hall of Ocean Life. Visit some American mammals as you learn about the National Parks of the United States. End your visit with a trip to space, exploring the Cosmic Pathway that details the no fewer than 13 billion years of our universe’s existence.

Can't say enough about our tour guide, Jonathan, and how willing he was to go out of his way to make our visit to both museums and absolute blast. We had two young kiddos with us (11 and 6) and his stories and wealth of knowledge (not to mention patience) kept everyone in the family engaged and entertained. We are so grateful and can't wait to come back. THANK YOU!!!

Jonathan was SPECTACULAR! My ONLY complaint is that we weren’t able to get the private tour because it sold out (we did semi-private). Jonathan was so great we wanted him all to ourselves! He was accommodating, engaging, helpful and knew everything about everything. Don’t think just book this tour. You will not regret it!

At the time of purchasing these tickets, I realized I accidentally bought tickets for both the MET and the Museum of Natural History. However, I am grateful that I did, as our tour guide Mark Venaglia gave hands down the best tour of both institutions. You could tell by the way that he talked about the paintings and the sculptures to the dinosaurs and dioramas that he is passionate and knowledgeable about these topics. He took so much care into interacting with our tour group, keeping us engaged and informing us of things that would not be known to the average museum attendee, but in a fun and insightful way. I cannot think of a better way this tour could have gone, Mark was 110% and more.
