Met Tours - Art Stories

8 Tours - One Museum The Newbie Tours take you floor by floor through the Met's most iconic works — the Great Hall, the Temple of Dendur, Arms and Armor, Rembrandt, Vermeer, the Impressionists. Two hours per floor. Everything you need to see, nothing you'll regret missing. The Art Story Tours are something different. We start with a beautiful painting at the Met and follow the thread. Who was she? What was her life? The portraits get a new dimension when you know the cast of characters. You end up getting attached, liking them more, seeing the model as a friend. The History of Painting Tours tell one continuous story across seven centuries. From Giotto's revolutionary cow and donkey to Raphael's perfect harmony. From the High Renaissance to the Impressionists — the moment painters stopped searching for perfection and started having fun with the subject. Then modern art: Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art. By the end, you'll understand it. Maybe even love it. Text to speech included — let the app read to you as you walk.
