How it works

We did the homework. You skip it.

  1. 1

    Research.

    Art historians' picks, visitor reviews, the Met's own curator notes. Distilled into tours worth your time.

  2. 2

    Route.

    1.5 million square feet, 5 floors. Curiosy walks you from one stop to the next. No backtracking.

  3. 3

    Story.

    Each artwork comes with the story you'd hear from a docent. Why it matters. What to look for.

Plan at home. Go to the museum.

Tonight: Plan

  • Pick what fits your time (30 min, 90 min, half day)
  • Browse curated tours OR build your own
  • Save to Plans — your tour is ready when you arrive

Tomorrow: Go

  • Start Go Mode at the museum entrance
  • Map shows your next stop
  • Hear or read the story at each artwork
