Fri 2/24: Gay Secrets of the Met

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

Early Bird Sale: Get $5 off* with code "Early"

Tickets: metgaysecretsfeb24.eventbrite.com

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