The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) is one of the world’s largest and finest art museums. Following the suggested route will help you explore the museum.
The Temple of Dendur
This 2000-year-old building stood near the Nile River, surrounded by a wall that no longer exists. But you can still peek through the gateway. Whose “house” is this? It's not for people. It’s for gods. Can you identify them? They face out. A king faces in, bringing offerings.
MetSpeaks
Bringing together some of the most respected thinkers on a given subject, MetSpeaks features lectures, discussions, talks, films, and forums in which compelling voices explore timely issues that connect to the Met’s exhibitions and permanent collection. Program times, audiences, and topics vary.
Time to Sketch
Settle down for a few minutes, pick something in this gallery, and have fun drawing it. Enjoy the chance to look carefully as you create your own sketch. You’ll be surprised at how much more you notice, thanks to exploring art by sketching.
