Overview

The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses one of the greatest art collections in the world. With over two million works of art and artifacts, ranging from ancient Greece and Egypt to Modern art from Europe, it is New York’s must-see museum. Maximize your time with a small group guided tour or a private tour of popular galleries with an expert guide. Alternatively, explore on your own after a 30-minute orientation session. Walk through 5000 years of art history, seeing the Egyptian temple of Dendur, masterpieces of the Robert Lehman collection, the original facade of a Wall Street bank, and more! Art movements like impressionism, cubism, and abstract expressionism unfold before your eyes. If there's a specific area you're excited to visit, ask your guide. You can stay and explore the exhibits until closing. With your entry ticket, you can also visit The Cloisters uptown on the same day. The Met has extended hours on Friday and Saturday evenings for a quieter, exclusive experience.

Meeting points

Please enter the Museum main entrance on 82nd Street and meet your tour guide by the Egyptian statue that is located to the right as you enter the Great Hall Entrance Lobby.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Overview

Nice overview of what’s in the Met -was able to see the scope of what’s available for future visits along with some interesting information about the Met

MET was awesome!

Published on Jan, 2025

Manny was our tour guide and was awesome! He was nice and very knowledgeable about the museum history and the art. He told stories that added a lot to the art we were looking at.

Excellent tour given by an informative guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Getting to see parts of the museum that I was not even aware existed. He took us to see many paintings that I would have missed

Great job Alex!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an amazing time with guide Alex! He was very knowledgeable and guided us through the expansive museum. There is no way you could visit this museum without a guide or someone who knows the exhibits joining you. We enjoyed the tour and he stayed awhile after to ensure we found our way to where we wanted to spend more time in the museum.

First time at the MET

Published on Dec, 2024

Alex was very knowledgeable and professional. He was great! Covered a lot in a 2 hour time period. Highly recommend him.
