Description

Glide through art history in just 3 hours with a guide who knows the best that the Met's sprawling collection has to offer.

Step inside the Temple of Dendur, transported intact from Egypt. See an ancient Roman bedroom that survived Pompeii's annihilation, marvel at Papua New Guinea's vivid ceremonial clothing, and witness the genius brush strokes of Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso, and more.

Ready for the pièce de résistance? The Met's rooftop garden has jaw-dropping views over Central Park.

Show your smartphone ticket to the guide who will be waiting in the main lobby of the Metropolitan Museum, near the Colossal Seated Statue of a Pharaoh located on your right upon entering.
The tour meeting time is 15 minutes prior to the start time. No refunds can be provided for late arrivals or no-shows.
Those requiring wheelchair access into the museum will need to enter the museum to the left of the main entrance (while facing it) where a ground level entrance is located. Please inform the staff you are meeting a tour group in the main lobby.

If you cannot climb the stairs of the central entrance, there is a ground level entrance one block south, near the intersection of 81st Street and 5th Avenue. Inform the desk there that you need to use the elevator to meet a group in the main lobby (at the pharaoh statue) and present your entrance ticket. They will provide you with a temporary pass and direct you upstairs.
Galleries and artwork visited during this tour are subject to closure and absences without prior notice. Your guide may need to modify to account for these events on the day of the tour.
