What to expect

The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds one of the world’s finest art collections. With over two million works spanning ancient Greece, Egypt, Modern European art, and more, it’s a must-visit destination in New York.

Choose between a small group or private guided tour of renowned galleries with an expert, or explore independently after a 30-minute orientation session.

Walk through 5,000 years of art history, featuring highlights like the Egyptian temple of Dendur, Astor Chinese Garden Court, Renaissance sculptures, the Robert Lehman Collection, works by Vermeer and Rembrandt, French period rooms, and masterpieces of abstract expressionism, impressionism, and post-impressionism.

Visitors can explore exhibits at their own pace until closing time

The MET is absolutely worth visiting. The collection is huge, beautifully curated, and you can see world-famous pieces in just a short visit. Even if you’re not an art lover, the building and galleries are stunning. we got the best tour guide. He is Raimundo.

Review for: Shared guided small group tour (English)

The Metropolitan Museum guided tour tickets sold by Klook are a scam! ! After I purchased it, I arrived on time on the same day, but there was no so-called tour group present! The staff at the MET service desk said: MET has always only accepted tickets ordered from the official website, and directly said "someone stolen money from you"; the KLOOK English customer service staff I contacted suggested that I purchase tickets on my own after understanding the situation! I request KLOOK to refund me the full amount and stop selling this kind of tickets to other customers, so that no one will be deceived and waste their money!

Review for: Met pre-orientation and self-guided tour (English)

My tour guide, Alexander, from Russia was so nice. Although I came up late since the traffic in NYC was unpredictable that time, he really showed me some of the part of The Met which he did not show to the other people in the group. I had fun. Kudos to Alexander!

Review for: Met pre-orientation and self-guided tour (English)

The tour guide explained everything very clearly, mainly helping you understand the key points of each hall so you can return later to see the exhibits you're most interested in. Overall, it was all very impressive.
