Semi-Private Met Museum Skip-the-Line Guided Tour

New York’s answer to the Louvre and the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art houses one of the world’s greatest art collections and is one of most important landmarks in the Big Apple. Join one of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides on this 2.5 hour semi-private guided museum tour to get the very best out of this enormous collection! Consider a Friday or Saturday evening tour for an even more private feel.

With 2 million works of art and artifacts on display, the Met collection extends from Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt to modern European art and beyond. During this tour, you’ll begin in the majestic Great Hall before moving to the museum’s most important galleries. In the Medieval Europe Gallery you’ll learn about the “Studiolo” from an italian Ducal Palace as well as examining the armor worn by Henry VIII. The American wing hosts the staircase from the Chicago Stock Exchange as well as the iconic painting of Washington crossing the Delaware River. Learn about the turbulent and inspiring lives of some of Europe’s most influential painters including Vermeer, Seurat, and Van Gogh. The museum has many stories to tell, and your guide will explain how this American gallery differs from its older European counterparts, especially since it began before the United States was even 100 years old!
