Gay Secrets of the Met Museum
Gay Secrets of the Met Museum
Metropolitan Museum of Art 1000 Fifth Avenue - 82nd St, New York City, USA
Professor Andrew Lear leads a mind-expanding trip through the MET Museum.
Join us for our most popular tour of the Met. We will explore some of the Met's queer treasures, from ancient Greek nudes (and erotic vase-painting, on which Professor Lear is a world expert!) to homoerotic works from the Renaissance, and a panoply of modern works, some by LGBT artists, some portraying LGBT people, and some expressing same-sex desire. Famous artists and personalities, such as Caravaggio or Gertrude Stein, will appear-but so will lesser-known artists and works whose homoerotic charge is often ignored (including images used in homosexual initiation rites in New Guinea!).
