Sat 12/10: Gay Secrets of the Met Tour

TheMenEvent's most popular museum tour

Met Museum, 1000 5th Ave.  $25-$45

4pm

Tickets: dec10gaysecretstour.eventbrite.com 

The most popular gay tour of the Met. 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!). Led by our favorite queer guide, Professor Andrew Lear.
