Private Guided Tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City


The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of the finest, most impressive art museums in the world. It houses awe-inspiring collections of American, European, Egyptian, Asian, African, Greek, and Roman art.

With floors of galleries, permanent installations, and special exhibitions to choose from, The Met can be intimidating to a first-time visitor. Even lifelong New Yorkers who have visited many times can feel overwhelmed by the sheer breadth and depth of the art collections at The Met.

Art Smart makes The Met manageable by finding the areas that will be the most intriguing for you, based on your interests, desires, and passions. Do you want to spend a full afternoon exploring Impressionist and other 19th and 20th century European paintings? Would you rather divide your limited time between Roman antiquities and American art? Then that’s exactly what we will do.

Are you a musician who is intrigued by unique historical instruments? A follower of military history who could spend hours looking at arms and armor? A fashionista devoted to evolving styles and costumes? A sports fan who wants to see the rarest baseball card of all time? Then Art Smart knows just where to lead you. The Metropolitan Museum has galleries and collections devoted to each of these and more. Simply let us know some of your interests, and we’ll design a delightful, informative, and enthralling tour suited to you and yours.
