Begin the day at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Fifth Avenue) for a 10:30 a.m. private tour, "Fashion in Art."
The Met's tour description: "Consider fashion throughout the ages and learn what clothes reveal to us about their wearers. Highlighting clothing represented in stone, wood, paint, and other media found throughout the Museum’s collections, this tour examines developments in fashion from all over the world." Approximately one hour. We will walk from here to our second stop or you may choose to take a taxi. Sorry, per the museum, there are no museum member discounts for private tours. Closes at 5:30 p.m.
