Fri 2/17: Gay Secrets of the Met - SOLD OUT

Our most popular tour of the Met, Led by our favorite queer guide, Professor Andrew Lear

Meet and depart at 6:15pm from the Pharaoh statue just the main entrance  

Cost: $55 full price*; $49 seniors*; $25 Met members and students

We will explore some of the Met's queer treasures, from ancient Greek nudes (and erotic vase-painting, on which Professor Lear is a world expert!) to homoerotic works from the Renaissance, and a panoply of modern works, some by LGBT artists, some portraying LGBT people, and some expressing same-sex desire. Famous artists and personalities, such as Caravaggio or Gertrude Stein, will appear-but so will lesser-known artists and works whose homoerotic charge is often ignored (including images used in homosexual initiation rites in New Guinea!)

*Expires 2/9/17 at midnight. Not valid on prior sale or in combination with other offers

**NOTE: "Full Price" and "Senior" price include cost of admission to the museum as well as the tour.
