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!

Mark, our guide was AMAZING!!! He was even more enthusiastic than we were. We’ve come to the Met at least a dozen times but never heard the background stories like he taught us. It was amazing. We learned so much. And being able to go at your own pace with a guide who is knowledge is worth every penny. You’ll get SOOOO much more out of your visit. Definitely do this even if this os your first trip to the Met. You’ll thank me later.

This was our third private tour with Babylon tours over the last few years - The British Museum in London, the Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Throughout these adventures, we’ve benefited from the knowledge and expertise of top notch guides. Mark, our guide on our tour of the Met, was the best of all. He was not only able to distill the massive content of the Met into a meaningful 2 hour experience, but his enthusiasm and kindness really brought the Met to life. We loved this tour and the way Mark lead us through it. Thank you Mark! We look forward to another tour with Babylon before long.

We were three women touring the Met for the first time, Mark was our tour guide. He tailored the tour to exactly what we were interested in. His knowledge of the artists and paintings was first rate, and it was clear from his enthusiasm that he loved the Met. He made our time in the museum so much more meaningful than had we just explored on our own.
