Museum Tours at the City's Big Three

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The MET's collections are organized in 16 curatorial departments, from Ancient Egypt to Contemporary Art. Let us plan a private tour just for you among the 66,000 square feet of gallery space that counts some 36 period rooms, grand and open sculpture courts, and masterpieces in every mode and medium. Do you have a special interest? Check out our growing list of tour topics.

Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

The home of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night and hundreds of other masterpieces, MoMA is the place to start your private tour of modern European art! From the palatial room of Monet's water lilies to a full gallery of Pablo Picasso masterpieces that tells the story of the advent of Cubism, we'll steer you through MoMA's wonders with close looking and great conversation. 

Whitney Museum of American Art

Steps off the High Line, the Whitney is a wonder of 20th- and 21st-century American art. Let us create a private tour of the Whitney's unprecedented collection of Edward Hoppers, Jasper Johns and Frank Stellas while sharing the story of Renzo Piano's architectural marvel overlooking the Hudson River, with views to the new World Trade Center.

Night tours available at each of these venues.

GALLERIES
The Chelsea art district is one of the most important and influential art districts in the world. It is concentrated largely between West 18th and West 27th streets, and between Tenth and Eleventh avenues (an easy walk from The High Line). The district boasts more than 350 galleries; many buildings have multiple floors of galleries. New York also has vibrant gallery scenes on The Lower East Side, Downtown, Midtown, Uptown, in Brooklyn and in Queens. Emily's colleague, Virginia, can curate a gallery experience just for you. This site offers an extensive list of galleries; we can steer you to the best shows at the time of your visit.
