Gay Secrets of the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Join us for an entirely new concept: an exploration of homoerotic art in the Metropolitan Museum. 

On this 2-hour museum walking tour, we will:

• Discover 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 beyond. 
• Venture into the 20th century with a panoply of modern works, some by LGBT artists, some portraying LGBT people and some expressing same-sex desire. 
• Focus on famous works - from Michelangelo’s Cupid to Picasso’s portrait of Gertrude Stein.
• And explore lesser-known artists and works that are often ignored. 

We’ll delve into the fascinating forms of homosexuality in other cultures, such as same-sex initiation rites in New Guinea, which are represented in the Met’s Oceania collection. It’s all part of hidden gay identity in one of the great museums of the world, which you’ll never look at the same way again.
