We’ll begin the tour with a sunset viewing of the Temple of Dendur, exploring the monumental temple as if on the shore of the Nile at dusk. We’ll then work our way through the American Wing, where the building’s original copper lights illuminate the wing’s emblematic golden Diana sculpture. 

Depending on the group’s interests, we’ll weave our way through tucked corridors to discover some of the museum’s most beautiful hidden gems, like a Ming Dynasty garden, larger-than-life Rodin sculptures, and starlit Roman busts. 

No matter what your interest or level of expertise, our expert art historian will ensure you’ll leave the museum with a deeper understanding of the collections and better tools to view art, all in time for dinner!

As part of this tour we will provide pre-purchased entry tickets to the Met Museum, which allow you to skip the long entry lines to the museum. These will be added to your cart when you check out. Your expert will have these with him/her on the day of the walk. All ticket sales are final and cannot be refunded.

PLEASE NOTE: The Annual Met Gala Event happens on the first Monday of May every year. The Met is only closed on the day of the event itself, but many galleries (usually including the Temple of Dendur) will also be closed in the week before and after the event.
