The Art of Stories: A Literary Tour in the Metropolitan Museum

The Art of Stories: A Literary Adventure in the Metropolitan Museum of Art We’re all storytellers, and we live in a world of stories. All our interactive museum tours are inspired by stories, and we’re pleased to present our newest tour, a story…about stories themselves. “The Art of Stories” looks at tales of the Met, backstories of the works of art, narratives set in the museum, and the origin of stories themselves, seen through the perspective of works of art. From myths to fairy tales, fables to epic quests, the tour will transport participants to a cave full of treasure and heroes on daring quests, a sword in a stone and a girl who loses her shoe. We’ll see how stories can take us to other worlds, shift our viewpoint of the world we’re in….and sometimes literally save someone’s life. Recommended for ages 12 and up

Thinking of gifting 'The Art of Stories' tour - feedback?

Hey everyone! I'm considering gifting 'The Art of Stories' tour at the Met to my sister, who loves literature and art. She's 14 and a bit of a bookworm. I think she'd love the mix of storytelling and art! Has anyone done this tour? Any tips on what to expect or what to bring?

Just got back from the Met tour - wow!

I just did 'The Art of Stories' tour and it was amazing! The guide was super knowledgeable and the way they tied in stories with the art was just brilliant. We also had some interactive elements that kept everyone engaged. Highly recommend this if you’re into art or storytelling! Perfect for older kids and adults!
