An excellent introduction to the Met and opportunity to see parts of the building I’d wanted to see and would never have found or discovered on my own. <br />Our guide Cherie had phenomenal knowledge of her subject which she delivered in a thoroughly engaging and fascinating way. I’m so glad I signed up for this.

Charlie M était bien informé sur l'art, la sculpture et l'histoire des musées. Éducatif et divertissant ! Nous ne pouvions pas imaginer une meilleure expérience. Joe/ Jon

My mom and I really enjoyed our extended tour of The Met. The museum is so large, doing a tour really enhanced our experience, with our awesome tour guide Cherie taking us to all the must see sights in the first two hours and then we had an additional hour to see some more unique and equally amazing art. I’d highly recommend this tour.

Know Before You Book

I use a wheelchair; can I take this tour?

Yes! The Met is fully wheelchair accessible. However, if you cannot climb the stairs of the central entrance to reach the meeting point, there is a ground level entrance one block south, near the intersection of 81st street and 5th avenue. Tell the desk you need to use the elevator to meet a group in the main lobby (at pharaoh statue), which will then secure your entrance ticket. They will provide you with a temporary pass and help direct you upstairs.

Can I take photos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

Non-flash photography is allowed. However, flash photography and video cameras cannot be used inside the Museum. Selfie sticks are also prohibited.

Am I guaranteed to see all of the rooms and artworks listed?

All of the pieces listed in the tour description are viewable the vast majority of the time. However, the Met, like nearly all great museums, occasionally allows certain works to travel in temporary exhibitions or be lent to other institutions. The Met also allows private parties to book out certain rooms for events (most commonly the Temple of Dendur), rendering them inaccessible for the duration of the event. If one of the listed pieces is unable to be viewed, the guide, at their discretion, will substitute another piece of important value.

Are there any items that I can't bring inside the Met with me?

The Met won’t allow any food or beverages inside the museum other than water. You are allowed to bring your backpack but need to leave it in the cloak room, which is free of charge. Also, no luggage allowed. Make sure to have enough time to go through check in.
