Tour Description
Our educator-led tour of the Met for kids tour is a wonderful adventure into the ways stories can be told through art. Together, by exploring objects from collections across the museum, such as ancient Greek sculpture, Renaissance altarpieces, Medieval armor, American portraiture, or Impressionist landscapes, we will examine how artists communicate narrative throughout history in a variety of media. We’ll learn to read these narratives and discover what they can tell us about the time, place, and people connected with each work.
Met for Kids - Tailored to your Family
As this is a private walk, the material will be tailored to the level and interests of the youngest participants. For children 12 and under your guide will engage them to find elements in paintings, or a drawing exploration to keep the children interacting while learning. For middle schoolers, the emphasis is placed on questioning the works of art and our assumptions about them. In each case, we ask that you tell us about your children's current studies and provide any comments about their learning styles you can.
Booking Instructions
We make a special group reservation for our visit to the museum, which allows you to skip the long entry lines to the museum. These reservation tickets will be added to your cart when you check out. Your guide will have your entry buttons with him/her on the day of the walk. However, due to enhanced COVID-19 safety precautions at this venue, there will be a mandatory security line that we must wait in together.
Please note that museum memberships cannot substitute for the group reservation required by the museum. All reservation ticket sales are final and cannot be refunded.

Isabelle’s tour was oriented to younger children.
Activities were too young for a teen. We would have liked to see some of the extensive paintings.

Isabelle was the most amazing and engaging guide for our kids. Big thanks to her for making this a very memorable experience.

Everything was great though I think the tour should ideally be 1.5 hours (which we did with David) to maintain kid's attention span. Some parents may not realize this.
