Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this tour at the Met?

A: No specific age restrictions, but it's geared more towards adults and older teens since the content can be a bit intense. If you're bringing younger kids, just be aware that some topics related to art theft and crime may not be appropriate for them. The tour guide can adjust discussions based on the audience.

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is there a lot of walking involved?

A: Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking around the museum for about 2.5 hours. The Met has some areas that can be crowded and you might be standing for a while. Dress casually but smart; it's a museum after all! Don't forget to check the weather since you might be waiting outside at times.

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can typically reschedule this tour as long as you give Art Trip some notice (usually at least 48 hours). They understand that plans can change, especially for gifts. Just check their cancellation policy when you book for any specific details.

Thinking of gifting the Private Art and Crime Tour at the Met!

I came across this Private Art and Crime Tour at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and it sounds amazing! It's $0 (seriously!) and lasts for about 2.5 hours with an art historian guide. I’m considering it for my dad's birthday since he loves art and history. Has anyone done this? What’s it really like?

Just did the Art and Crime Tour and loved it!

I went on the Private Art and Crime Tour at the Met last weekend and it was so cool! Our guide was super knowledgeable about all the art crimes, from ancient looting to modern theft. I felt like I was in an art mystery movie! Definitely a unique experience—I highly recommend it if you're into art or just want to learn something new!
