What To Expect

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Its roughly 2 million works of art and artifacts cover everything from Ancient Egypt to modern art. From the Great Hall, you’ll visit the museum’s most important galleries. Pass through the Medieval Europe Gallery on your way to the Studiolo from the Ducal Palace. Explore armory form the Middle Ages, including pieces worn by Henry VIII. The American wing hosts the staircase from the Chicago Stock Exchange as well as the famed portrait of Washington crossing the Delaware. A host of European painters including Vermeer, Picasso, and Van Gogh await you as you learn about their troubled yet exciting lives. All the while, your guide will explain how this iconic American museum differs from its older European counterparts, especially since it began before the United States was even 100 years old! Highlights generally include (if artwork is not on loan or being restored): Henry VIII armor, Tiffany Autumn landscape, Chicago Stock Exchange Stairs, Madame X, Pop culture then and now, Hudson River School, Washington Crossing the Delaware, Jan Vermeer, Madonna with Child, Picasso, Seurat, Van Gogh, and more!

An enjoyable tour. Learned a lot. Rob was very good. His knowledge of the artwork and the history made tour very interesting. Rob made the tour more fun by giving us the history of the artwork as well as the history of the artist at that point in his life. He had great background stories that brought everything to life!

Mark V was an exceptional tour guide teaching us how to view art and keeping it interactive. It was so much better than wandering through ourselves we loved it!

Charlie was an amazing tour guide! He was knowledgeable and friendly. He has lots of life experiences and was able to connect with everyone in the group. This was my first time to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way. Charlie made the experience unique and I only wish I had his level of energy!
