Go beyond the usual highlights with this 3-hour extended guided tour of The Met’s vast collection, which spans 5,000 years of art history.

O museu tem muitas peças a serem vistas. A visita de 3 horas acabou sendo muito corrida no final para poder ainda mostrar peças de destaque

A guided tour provided an overview that we could not have done by ourselves. The guide was incredibly well informed and provided an organized approach to understand what we were viewing.
