From exhibition openings, concerts, and performances, to lectures, talks, and workshops, you name it and The Met probably hosts it. If you’ve decided when you’ll visit the museum, make sure to check out these events below and participate in one of them on the day of your visit.
Your admission tickets to the museum will be enough to attend some events like the Met Expert Talks. But several events require you to register for them separately along with an event fee.
You can purchase tickets for the paid museum events through the museum’s events page.
The Met events require you to purchase admission tickets whether you visit the museum’s galleries or not. It is best to club your museum visit with the event you want to attend.
The Met curates age-specific events for teens and children. These activities are held for specific age groups that are banded together, such as the Painting Lab for kids aged 5 to 8 years old and the Pause for Pegasus classes for those ages between 9 and 12 years old.
The Met hosts multisensory workshops called ‘Discoveries’ for children and adults with a range of developmental and learning disabilities and those on the autism spectrum.
The ‘Seeing Through Drawing’ workshops at The Met for visitors who are blind or partially sighted uses experimentation with materials and verbal description as an innovative way to learn drawing techniques.
Derby Hall, the main venue where talks and lectures are held, is wheelchair accessible. There are wheelchair spaces available in the front row. The studio space at The Met located on the ground floor, The Box, is also wheelchair accessible.
Some artist talks and exhibition walk-throughs hosted by artists let you interact personally with the artists while they give you an intimate experience of their art.
