Our "Secrets of the Met Museum" Tour Guide Andrew Lear (who also does our Gay History Walking Tour of the West Village) was recently featured on WNBC-News!  Click here to watch the feature story.

Join The Men Event for the most popular tour of the Met, led by one of the world authorities on Gay art. You 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!).

*NOTE: "Full Price" and "Senior" price include cost of admission to the museum as well as the tour. The $35 cost for Met members and students is for the tour only (please bring your member ID or student ID to gain entry to the museum). The tour is operated by Oscar Wilde Tours and is not officially an offering of the Met Museum. Price of admission does not include beverages. No refunds or exchanges
