Overview

With over 5,000 years of civilization from around the globe represented in one of the world's great museums, a guided tour to ensure the "must-sees" is a necessity! This tour navigates the dawn of civilization through the tombs of ancient Egypt, the Gilded Age wonders of America, the revolution of the Impressionist movement in Paris, frescoes salvaged under the volcanic ash of Pompey, Henry VIII's armor as high fashion of the Renaissance, and most importantly, how it all fits into the story of New York City.
