Description

What you'll learn in this museum tour:

You want a highly-academic, highbrow tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art where we stand before the great masters, contemplating their skilled use of line and form, while simultaneously placing them in the pantheon of other art historical geniuses, right?

You picked the wrong tour.

Welcome to Museum Hack VIP, our premiere museum experience.

Perfect for a date night, an evening with friends or a capstone to a New York City visit, our famous VIP tour guides will show you the secrets, backstories and hidden nooks and crannies of the Greatest Museum on Earth.

  • Photo ops: Instagram-worthy shots to wow your friends.

  • And plenty of surprises along the way.
We promise that Museum Hack VIP will be the classiest, most salacious, most exciting evening you’ve ever had in a museum.

    Elizabeth and Jim were such a great team! I am a native New Yorker and I have been to the museum several times before, but this tour taught me little interesting facts that I was not aware of. I highly recommend this tour!

    It’s different experience than to go by Yourself and read the “stories “. Most of the time I don’t remember anything. But with this experience in museum I not just remember, but I am telling my friends too. We didn’t explore everything ( its not possible anyway) but everything we talked about was interesting and memorable. Thank You

    Energetic and entertaining tour guides - saw more of the museum than I ever had before... Definitely want to go back on my own to take a deeper dive into some of the areas they introduced us to. Brought relatives visiting from TX - everyone loved it!

    Kevin and Evan were our guides for this tour. It was the equivolent to a walking art history comedy show. The right amount of knowledge and humor to make this 2 hour tour worth taking. If you are interested in learning something new in a fun way, this is the tour for you.

    Better off going without a tour guide. We didn't get to see much and spent way too much time on mediocre pieces. Our guide spent about 10 minutes talking about a coin meanwhile there were other exceptional pieces of art that we would have preferred to look at. The best part about this tour was going to the roof top otherwise would not recommend.

    Really fun. I’ve been to the Met countless times in my life but never have I experienced it like I did during the Museum Hack tour. Great guides. If anything it went by too quickly.

    The Met was never more enjoyable. The time went by quickly as we were entertained and educated by our 2 talented and skilled hosts. Scandals, intrigue, mystery and drama of the art pieces were part of the evenings topics.

    I highly recommend that any first time visitor to the Met take a tour - the museum is simply too big and overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for. What set apart the Museum Hack experience was its effort to make the exhibits accessible to all, even those who aren't fine art experts. Anna and Elizabeth were highly engaging guides and kept the tour funny and interactive. Would definitely recommend this to first time Met visitors
