What To Expect

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art attracts nearly as many visitors as other leading galleries like the Louvre or the British Museum. Its roughly 2 million works of art and artifacts cover everything from ancient Egypt to modern art. From the Great Hall, you’ll see 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 enriched our day on so many fronts. His enthusiasm was so contagious. His passion and knowledge of art is extraordinary. He is not intimidating at all. We can’t wait to book another tour with him when we return in February! DON’T miss this tour with Mark.

I liked being shown parts of the Met I usually avoid. Great insights into the American Wing and Lehman Collection. Now I have reasons to go back and go deeper

The Metropolitan Museum in NYC is amazing and can be I overwhelming even for return visitors. We signed up with Babylon and got an excellent tour guide named Katherine whose passion for the Met is contagious. She provided an incredible 2-1/2+ overview that gave us an inviting reminder of how much we enjoy both the breadth and depth of the Met. She also guided us to the areas where we had a special interest so we could follow up further on our own. For a first time visitor a guided tour provides a much needed introduction and way to know where to spend more time before you run out of energy. We highly recommend.
