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!

We did the tour with my family and we found it to be the highlight of our New York Trip. We found Robin to be so knowledgeable and passionate of all she showed us. She also did a great job keeping her history in order so we could understand the evolution of the various art styles. We are not too knowledgable about art and she brought things to light that we would not have noticed without her tour. We felt it also covered most of the museum so when we remained back to do a bit more we knew where we wanted to focus our attention. The museum is just beautiful and curated so well. It was well worth the money because it would have been overwhelming to do alone.

My 15 year old son and I had a private tour with Mark Venaglia. He was delightful and so knowledgeable about the art in the museum, the art scene in NYC, and the city in general. I feel like we won the lottery with him as our tour guide. Our time together exceeded all of my expectations and I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Robin was fabulous! Knowledgeable about all of the exhibits we visited, from early B.C. antiquities to pre-modern American art. Down to earth with amusing anecdotes about many of the paintings. Overall, great context that would never be available if you toured the museum on your own. My only regret was not planning for a gratuity ahead of time. My friends and I were short on cash and therefore unable to properly thank Robin for providing such a memorable experience!
