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.

We had an absolutely incredible experience touring the Met Museum with Rob as our guide! His deep knowledge of art and history was evident in the fascinating stories he shared about each piece and the artists behind them. He brought the artwork to life with engaging narratives that made the tour both educational and entertaining. Rob kept a great pace, ensuring we had enough time to appreciate the exhibits without feeling rushed. He was also thoughtful about including bathroom breaks, making sure everyone stayed comfortable. What really set him apart was his personable and humorous approach—his wit and charm kept us engaged the entire time! If you’re visiting the Met and considering a guided tour, I highly recommend Rob. His expertise, storytelling, and warm personality made this an unforgettable experience!

Very thorough tour of the major items in the permanent collection at the Met. Cherie was an informative and knowledgeable guide who was clearly passionate about the museum. Learned many things about not just the pieces in the museum but the museum itself and the history of the arts in NY. Would highly recommend the tour and Cherie as a guide.
