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.

My daughter, 17-yrs-old, and I signed up for the semi-private skip-the-line Metropolitan Museum of Art guided tour. Mark was our AMAZING tour guide - and we were fortunate to have him all to ourselves! It was my daughter's first time visiting the Met and my third, but it was like seeing everything for the first time for both of us. Mark's enthusiasm for art and history is absolutely contagious. His affable presence and knowledge had us immersed in the conversation from the start. Throughout our tour, Mark wove historical moments into the artwork we were studying and carried on an interactive and engaging conversation. My daughter is a history nut and I'm a certified art enthusiast, for us, spending these few hours with Mark was absolutely priceless. Even if you've visited other art museums in the US and around the world you cannot beat this guided tour at the Met - it is sure to change the way you look at paintings and sculptures you've only seen in books or even seen previously person. This tour was the highlight of our summer (and we went on many tours these past couple months)! Thank you Mark!

Thank you to Mark V who made the tour exciting and memorable. His passion for Art and love of NYC was apparent thru the tour. He stayed over the tour time which was extremely generous. The interaction between a young artist in college and Mark a current artist was so much fun to listen too. He was knowledgeable and did not belittle anyone who was a novice in our group. THANKS MARK. We will be back for part 2.
