Suggestions for Art Tours near New York

DailyCandy • February 26, 2014Follow the crowds to the Costume Institute exhibitions or take a Museum Hack tour- what the guides lack in art history doctorates, they make up for in highlighting works you’d normally pass over.

Tayyare F. • September 29, 2015Very good one with great shops underneath and across the street but pretty expenwice for a family of four.

Hotel I. • January 23, 2013A staff favorite! A distinctive public park built on an elevated rail line. The park offers amazing views, green spaces, public art & guided walking tours.

DoubleDeuce • April 29, 2017A necessary stop on any Lower East Side and/or East Village Street Art tour. It always changed so come back often!

MoAraiza • November 21, 2013Catch the tour. They give you good info on the history of the center as well as art infused into the building, that is often overlooked.

Madison Square P. • August 20, 2013Wondering how the 100,000 pounds of rope was shipped to the park? Learn this and more about Genger’s Red, Yellow and Blue a FREE public art tour tomorrow at 2 & 6pm! - http://goo.gl/IuGO99

Christian C. • September 27, 2014See if a docent is around to give you a brief tour of the gallery. Make sure to get the receiver before entering the fountain room that plays audio explanations of the art pieces.

Daniel L. • November 25, 2012Unlike a lot of other museums, grabbing a free audio tour (yes - free) is worthwhile to learn more about the art. Descriptions are brief in postings if any at all.

laura b. • February 3, 2013On Fri & Sat evenings, the Met has live music, small plates & specialty cocktails that tie in with current exhibits 'that spur conversation about the art.' Great spot to end a tour during the winter.

Sonja A. • June 29, 2018It was not a tour in buildings at all more like in having a tour in art journey in museum, beautiful stories and such a well professional tour guide! His name is Allan!

Harlem A. • July 5, 2013Cafe? check. Giftshop? check. Bar? check. Music? check. Lounge?.....Well, you get the idea by now. This venue has (3) levels so be sure to ask for a mini tour. The downstairs is state of the art cool!
