Special tours this month:

Family Friday: On October 12 at 5:30 PM, we’re offering one of our “Family Fridays”: One  Friday of every month, we offer a museum tour just for families with kids age 7-13. On October 12, we’re kicking several weeks of Halloween-themed wizarding tours in the Met, because, Halloween. Bring along your ghosts and goblins, your wands and potions, and of course, your Hogwarts-inspired costumes. Advance registration required.

Here Be Dragons: An Interactive Museum Scavenger Hunt

This month, we’re launching something new. We’ve redefined the scavenger hunt to make it more scavenger-y, more interactive, and just more..fun. Join us as we celebrate the new movie Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald with “Here Be Dragons” our new two-part, activity-laden scavenger hunt. Part one launches in the American Museum of Natural History on October 19. (Part two will be in the Met at a later date.)

Drawing from the menageries of creatures in both Fantastic Beasts and the upcoming sequel, the hunt will allow  participants to explore galleries throughout the museum as they answer questions, solve clues, engage in creative activities, and track down the origins of some of the creatures from both the Fantastic Beasts stories as well as some other classic myths and tales. Grab your nifflers and join us! Advance registration required.

Current Highlights:

Crown and Prophet: An Epic Fantasy Adventure in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Inspired by epic fantasies like Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings, “Crown and Prophet” takes participants on a highly interactive adventure throughout the museum, complete with group activities, intrigue, rivalry, quests…and plenty of surprises. The tour will engage guests with works of art that may remind them of places and spaces in a number of classic fantasy stories, while also involving them in a race against the clock to solve a series of challenges.

Come along and help us test out the tour before we launch it on an unsuspecting public: The tours-in-progress are $35 (that includes your museum admission and all materials and handouts), and we’ll ask for feedback, try out different things, and possibly ask if you’d rather have Joffrey or Saruman as your great uncle.

Griffins, Goblets, and Gold: A Wizarding tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Join us for “Griffins, Goblets, and Gold,” an interactive ‘wizarding’ tour in the Metropolitan Museum inspired by the Harry Potter books. See spaces and places that might remind you of those in the books, from part of an actual castle to mythical creatures that resemble those in the story. You’ll participate in activities, explore the museum from a wizard’s perspective… and maybe even do a little magic. (Appropriate interactive wizarding gear is encouraged.) Advance reservations required.

Guess what? From now until the end of the month, all our wizarding tours will be Halloween themed. You get all our regular wizarding goodness…plus some extra tricks and treats. Wands and Hogwarts-inspired costumes especially encouraged.
