Exploring the MET Museum NYC in 2 Hours!

I love your former art history professor. His knowledge and enthusiasm are infectious!

Wowzers

Washington was 44 years old at the time of the crossing. Hardly an "older man" as referenced here in the bit about "political propaganda." A Bronzino painting elevated to the most important piece at the MET is also funny. But the Oxbow commentary is completely off-point, given the Indigenous people's history in these "uncultivated" lands -- that's the real political message of the Oxbow.

Wow, there’s so much I missed when I went there. I never even made it to the Van Gogh room. Note to self: next time, I go to nyc by myself so I’m not feeling rushed due to friends. Really hard when your friend is asking where you are and are you going to be done soon so I felt rushed. I’m def a solo traveler.

if they designed the window was tiffany the handson manufacryor ?

is this the same museum where Night at Museum was filmed?

More Dr. gopin 😊

Great video thanks for your tips.

You can tell the professor is so passionate about the art and history represented here. Great video

If youre only spending 2hrs in the met you clearly dont appreciate the art and history, youre obviously a tourist that just wants to say you've been there.

Minute 7.59: he says 'Etna' but the correct vulcano is 'Vesuvio'. Etna is in Sicily,

I love the excitement the art historian has about him. He is an art lover as deep as his blood runs and thru-out his dna

Excellent guide. Thank you!

This is a man who loves to teach 😂

Very nice quick tour. Thank you. Just one question. Can you take the ticket for one day as lourvre during a lunch break or coffee, or for one entry?

Sesame Street filmed an episode here called don’t eat the pictures

I visited The Met when I was up in NYC a few days ago and OMG, I was taken aback by just how many amazing works of art there are inside of it. I started in the Egypt section and worked my through up to Asian art and a touch of Americana. I had wanted to see some of the Sumerian/Mesopotamian pieces they have but that gallery was closed off. Hopefully when I find myself in NYC again I'll stop by the Met again.

What an enthusiastic professor. You can tell he’s extremely passionate about what he does ❤️

This video inspired me to buy a membership. In 2020 (pre-pandemic), my family and I did a private tour and some random man with his daughter joined in. 😄

The professor has a voice like Tarantino

really gooooooooooooood video!!! I'm an italian painter :) greetings from Milan

You cant show most of this art in republican states. If things continue they will have them destroyed like so many extremists in history.

Tkm

Thank you for this.

I loved this video! Thank you both for these art lessons and for this itineray to visit the MET.

Seth was WONDERFUL!! Thanks for featuring him.

Museum is Shrekphobic, they made me throw away my prime drink cuz it’s green

Wow! I'd go just for Vermeers alone. But so many great tips here. Thanks!

Great video!

I really enjoy the explanation of the professor .

One quick correction: Mount Etna is in Sicily. It is Mount Vesvuisus that is located near Naples and erupted in 79 AD
sincerely a Pompeian archaeologist :)

Oh gosh I want a guided tour with this man 😮😊

That was great since I have been to the Met and just realized that I never saw a lot of what you showed in this video.

Every time I visit I happily disappear into the exhibits and all my old favorites until I’m exhausted and sadly head down the steps back to the outside world.

Nice Museum

I've been there three times and I don't think I've seen it all. It's sensory overload for sure, not to mention a helluva lotta walking.

I love the art professor, if i were in college I would totally sign up for his classes. You can tell how much he loves art by his enthusiasm.

Wow! You and your art teacher could easily make this a one hour special.

You've actually inspired me and my "dulcet tones" to video blogging Interesting places around the world

Any good Pubs or bars within 20 mins walking distance around the Met with decent prices you know about? I am heading there in 1 hour

If they do informational headsets, then Seth has to be the narrator. Great video.

I spent opening hours til 4PM exploring the FIRST FLOOR. I leisurely took a coffee break but was informed the museum will be closing soon. My SECOND FLOOR experience is all about running and photographing random artworks. I will return. I NEED TOOOOOOOO!!!! :)

This guy is insane. Not every painting was political.
This is why I hate neo-art-critics. Not everything has a meaning. Sometimes it's just art.
Stop trying to sound profound. You're not.

I love this museum so much . I wish there's a coffee shop inside that looks like you wanna relax and chill not looks like a cafeteria.

Wow what a gem this man is.

The people who were sitting on the bench during the explanation of Washington crossing the Delaware were in class .you can tell that they were listening and learning. So cool
