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!

For a person who is not into art I found the Met amazing! We were there for about 2 hours after the tour and if we had more time in NYC, I would have gone back. Our tour guide, Katherine was fun and informative. She whipped us around that museum to show us as much as she could during our tour. It was so nice to have a tour guide to show us around the museum. It is such a massive place, that if you don't get lost, kudos to you:)

I recently joined a friend in New York for a few days of fun and leisure. One of our outings was the Skip the Line Tour at the Metropolitan Museum Art given neither of us had been previously on trips to NYC. Our guide Katherine was delightful and gave us a great overview of the museum's history, the many galleries and highlighted several notable works of art not to be missed. She truly gave our group the utmost care ensuring that she answered questions, made stops along the way to point out items of interest, gave time to take pics, etc. I would certainly recommend this to anyone wanting to visit the museum. I cannot imagine trying to take on this attraction without a guide.

Our private tour was with Mark. Clearly he has a passion for art and the MET. We learned so much! Details about the building, artists, collections, etc. It was our first visit and I'm amazed at the amount of ground we covered in nearly 3 hours. Time flew. We had 4 people on our tour: myself, husband and 2 teenage kids. If we had more people than that it might have been a challenge to hear and see everything.
