About this activity
Welcome to the WOW experience that is The Metropolitan Museum of Art! Our world class guides will take you on a fascinating journey of more than 5000 years worth of tradition, fashion, art, history and architecture. 
Opened in 1880 and situated on Central Park, this iconic New York institution contains 5 millennium of art—from prehistory to the latest in contemporary works—under one roof. Its unparalleled collection comprises more that two million objects that include Old Master paintings, the Ancient Egyptian Temple of Dendur and the museum’s famed period rooms.
Visitors young and old are mesmerized by the Temple of Dendur, an Egyptian temple from 10 B.C. that was transposed from its Nile-side location to the bright, sun drenched Sackler Wing overlooking a reflective pool. Other highlights include the impressive array of European and Asian armor, Grecian sculptures, medieval art and contemporary photography. After hours of exploring relax by a fountain in the indoor sculpture garden or ponder what it all means in the Astor Chinese Garden Court, nestled off the Asian Art galleries.
Our package includes entree into the museum, a professional guide and a tailor made tour designed to give you the most value from your visit.
