How it works

Step into a world of art, history, and adventure with a Museum Hack experience at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art. As one of our flagship offerings, this 90-minute private corporate event promises an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, learning, and fantastic memories for your team.

Prepare to embark on a "behind the scenes" exploration of the museum's best-kept secrets, guided by our team of passionate and knowledgeable nerds who live and breathe museum culture. With their expertise and enthusiasm, they will serve as your private tour guides, offering a unique perspective that goes beyond the traditional museum experience.

Our approach is infused with a cultural lens that embraces diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), as well as team dynamics. We recognize the power of art to spark conversations, bridge gaps, and foster understanding, and we weave these elements into our experience to create a truly enriching and immersive adventure.

Prepare to be captivated by the museum's wildest stories. From the awe-inspiring tale of Hatshepsut, the Egyptian pharaoh whose stepson attempted to erase her from history, only for it to backfire spectacularly, to the mythical allure of an 18th-century ultimate swag accessory believed to have originated from a unicorn, each story will transport you to a different time and ignite your imagination.

But it's not just about listening to fascinating stories. We believe in active engagement and participation. Throughout the experience, you and your team will engage in mini-games and challenges carefully designed to enhance your connection with the art and with each other. These unexpected and entertaining activities will boost engagement, foster teamwork, and create a dynamic atmosphere of shared exploration and discovery.

Our Museum Hack experience is more than just a tour—it's an invitation to delve into the rich tapestry of human creativity, to uncover hidden narratives, and to forge lasting connections within your team. It's an opportunity to break away from the mundane and embrace the extraordinary.

So, gather your team and prepare for an adventure like no other. Step into the Metropolitan Museum of Art with us and let us unlock the wonders of the past, present, and future. Together, we'll create memories that will last a lifetime and inspire a newfound appreciation for art, history, and the power of teamwork. Let the Museum Hack begin!
