Guided NYC Museums Meditation Tour

Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time. e.g. if the tour is from 11-1 pm, arrive by at 10:45 am .

Please check your coat or bag at the coat check on the first floor before the tour begins, ensure to allow enough time to be ready 15 minutes before your tour starts.

A deeply curated journey through 5,000 years of history at The Met. From a 2700 B.C. rare statue of a woman to a 1950s Abstract painting, each tour is a celebration of art’s timeless beauty.

The experience begins as the group gathers and is fitted with headsets (sound levels are checked for comfort). After a brief introduction to get to know one another, we embark on a journey through the museum in our own “bubble of delight and awe.” Accompanied by the world-renowned piano compositions of Murray Hidary, the guided voice leads you through a curated exploration of the artworks, encouraging you to see them with fresh eyes.

Every tour is unique—shaped by the participants, the interactions, and the magic of the moment.

We will meet in The Great Hall of The Met 15 minutes prior to your tour start time.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art: 1000 5th Ave (81st St.), New York, NY 10028

Meet inside the lobby to the right of the information desk - look for the large Egyptian stone statue, that's where you can find us.

Feel free to wear comfortable shoes., and the tour is best when not wearing encumbering bags.

Please check your coat or bag at the coat check on the first floor before the tour begins. Ensure you arrive early to be ready 15 minutes before your tour starts.
