“Staged: The Interactive Museum Tour for People who Love Theater”
This tour looks at the development of theater through the lens of artwork in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, from early Greek statues of actors to depictions of stories that inspired Broadway musicals. Interspersed with activities and questions about theater, the tour takes participants across the museum and across cultures to see the ways artists have worked the theme of theater into their creations for thousands of years.
Participants should bring their T (theater) game, and maybe even be prepared do a little acting, because, after all, all the world’s a stage. Every other Sunday at 11:00 AM.
“Crown & Prophet: An Epic Fantasy Adventure in the Metropolitan Museum of Art”
Get your fellowship together for this epic adventure in the Metropolitan Museum! Inspired by well-known epic fantasies, “Crown and Prophet” will take you on an interactive adventure, using the museum’s collection. You’ll discover works of art from collections including Medieval and Arms and Armor that will remind you of places and spaces from your favorite classic fantasy stories, as well as those that highlight the origins and influences on those tales. So, grab your scabbard, hitch up your hilt, and cover up in that cloak: you’re about to embark on an adventure that offers a completely new way of exploring the Metropolitan Museum. Every other Sunday at 11:00 AM.
Ghost Stories
From the spooky to the scary, the macabre to the mysterious, the ghostly to the ghoulish, “Ghost Stories” will take visitors on an interactive tour of all things frightful in the Metropolitan Museum. Participants will travel across cultures and across time to see Flying Dutchmen and fearsome paintings, still lifes and sculpture. We’ll look at Egyptian, American, and European works of art, to name a few, plus discuss stories about ghostly happenings in the museum itself. All the while, we’ll look at how different cultures depict the fearsome and the gruesome, in pursuit of what scares us…and why. Every Friday evening at 6:00 PM; every other Saturday at 11:00 AM.
