About Heart of the Art NYC
We offer customized, private tours at New York City art museums and galleries -- including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art as well as dozens of other museums in New York City. From museum highlights to in-depth collections, from special exhibitions to your own list of personal favorites, we will curate a private tour that will guide you to the "heart of the art" you most want to see. Our custom museum tours range from two hours to multiple days. Tour alone, as a couple, as a family, or in a group.
Heart of the Art NYC tours make great gifts for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, holidays and special events.
Why Heart of the Art?
Your guide, Emily Sachar, is an art historian, educator, public speaker and party planner who is an instant hit with students of all ages. She is intimately familiar with the holdings, exhibition schedules and layout of all of New York City’s museums and can speed you to the art you most want to see (she’ll also zip you to the most convenient restrooms and eating facilities). Emily deploys her iPad to augment your custom, private tour with videos, maps, photos and other materials to give you the sharpest insights, and socio-political context, into the art on view.
An independent art historian on the faculty at New York University and Bard College, Emily is also a senior docent and art educator at the Brooklyn Museum and a former docent at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has led more than 500 art tours in the past 12 years and has lived in New York City for 35 years. She enjoys art in any locale, from a Chelsea gallery to an outdoor sculpture park, from the altar of a church to the galleries of a major museum.
Emily studied for her MA in art history at The City University of New York/Hunter College. Her MA research focused on the use of codes and symbols to signal an interest in homosexuality by the Magic Realists, a group of American artists who worked at the middle of the 20th century. Emily graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor’s degree in economics and American history. Esteemed by guides, educators and visitors around the world, Emily, a former award-winning journalist and published book author, is a researcher par excellence who is equally at home with Ancient Egypt and contemporary art.
