Metropolitan Museum of Art New York: Private Audio Tour. AUDIO GUIDE ONLY

Welcome to the legendary Metropolitan Museum of Art, or Met, the largest art museum in New York City and in the world! The extraordinary collection spans different eras and forms, as this tour illuminates the most striking masterpieces.

The Met turned 150 in 2020 and continues to diversify its collection by showcasing those hitherto underrepresented: women, artists of color and the LGBT community. You'll also explore the exhibit in the speculative Afrofuturist Period Room opening in 2021.

The tour starts at the Egyptian Art Galleries as the main attraction of the museum is the world's largest collection of Egyptian treasures. Here, the iconic Dendur Temple will captivate you with its grandeur and interiors.

Afterwards, you'll get an insight into medieval life and imagination from the Met's richest collection of medieval and Byzantine art outside of Europe.

Then, you will focus on the impressionists again to see Van Gogh's painting "Wheatfield with Cypresses", which he considered one of his best summer landscapes. Other famous canvases you will reflect on are by masters such as Monet, Picasso and Klimt.

Walking further, you will admire Rodin's deeply emotional and haunting marble creations while contemplating the sculpture "The Tempest".

After the artsy side, you'll stroll a block down Fifth Avenue to discover Met-related curiosities of the adjacent Upper East Side.

Join this tour and embrace the one of a kind art collection spanning over 5000 years and the entire world!
