Met Express: Highlights of the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Explore the Metropolitan Museum on this guided tour in New York City. You'll hear vital facts and humorous commentary about both famous masterpieces and more unusual works. The tour starts in Ancient Egypt, beholding perfectly preserved ancient Egyptian tomb models. See tiny dioramas that show what life was like in the times of Tutankhamen and learn about the fascinating burial rituals of the era.
Next, onto a prize jewel of the Met Museum, the Temple of Dendur, an Ancient Egyptian Temple right smack in the middle of Central Park. After, the armor of Britain's infamous King Henry VIII, and the Antioch Chalice. See more ancient works of Greek statuary and Roman frescoes before moving to the exotic, with a stop in Papua New Guinea. Then head to the second floor to soak in some of Claude Monet's famous Water Lillies, be energized by the expressive works of Vincent Van Gogh, and be inspired by a bronze of Rodin's Thinker.
