Founded by an art specialist and historian, ArtMuse helps art lovers navigate more than 25 New York City museums, galleries, and collections. Its expert tour guides and historians approach each exhibit with a fresh and unique take, incorporating participants’ interests and existing knowledge of the work.
Quench your cultural curiosity with an hour-and-a-half tour of the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Home to some of our country’s most important works, it features roughly 17,000 paintings, sculptures, and decorative art pieces created between the 16th and early 19th centuries.
Have little ones? ArtMuse also offers special tours for kids, which include an interactive journey through the Met’s mythological creatures exhibit, and an art project inspired by the tour.
Sounds well-guided to us.
