METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART TOUR
Step inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a journey through one of the most revolutionary periods in Western art history. From the rigid hierarchies of the French Salon to the shimmering, almost abstract surfaces of Monet's Water Lilies, this tour traces how a group of radical artists dismantled centuries of academic tradition — and invented the modern eye. We'll stand before masterworks by Courbet, Manet, Renoir, Morisot, Monet, and Van Gogh, and discover that these paintings aren't just beautiful objects — they're bold arguments about what art should be, who it should depict, and how we see the world.
