We are Guides

A little about us

Let’s get acquainted. Our names are Elena and Vitaly. Elena is an art historian and restorer. Vitaly is an artist.

The best museum in America and one of the best in the world is the Metropolitan. It is ideal for studying history and art with a professional Guide. By combining our knowledge and experience as tour guides, we have developed a new scheme for our signature tours. We tell not only about a specific painting, but also about the historical background of the work.  Guide Vitaly will tell and show you the most interesting things that are in the museum’s exposition. This will be the best time to gain knowledge and impressions.

A guided tour of The Metropolitan Museum of Art allows you to fully experience the depth and significance of one of the world’s greatest art collections. The Met spans over 5,000 years of history across numerous cultures, and a knowledgeable guide can help you navigate this vast collection, connecting artworks to the fascinating stories behind them. With a guide, you’ll get insights into the historical context, symbolism, and artistic techniques that make each piece remarkable, from the Temple of Dendur to Van Gogh’s self-portraits.

To the museum with a guide

Exploring The Met with a guide also means you won’t miss the museum’s hidden treasures. While some masterpieces are iconic, many other pieces carry equally rich stories but are easily overlooked. With a guide, however, you’ll discover both the celebrated works and lesser-known gems. Additionally, a guide will tailor the experience to highlight connections between various pieces, giving you a well-rounded understanding of the museum’s diversity. Ultimately, this enriched perspective transforms a visit into a memorable journey through time, culture, and creativity. https://ny-museums.com/museums/metropolitan-museum-of-art/

If you don’t have much time and can’t fly to New York. Elena’s project – “Virtual Museum Tours of New York” will help you to experience art from anywhere in the world, wherever you are. And you can feel like an art connoisseur.

And I am very glad that our little educational mission turned out to be useful and informative.
