Brooklyn Museum Private Expert-Led Tour with Curator Access

Explore one of America's greatest art museums with a private expert guide who unlocks its world-class Egyptian antiquities, feminist art collection, and rotating blockbuster exhibitions. Bucket-list art in your own Brooklyn backyard.

What to expect

Step into the stunning Beaux-Arts landmark that is the Brooklyn Museum, the second-largest art museum in the United States. Your private guide leads you through highlights chosen for your group — from the awe-inspiring Egyptian collection (one of the world's finest) to the groundbreaking Judy Chicago installations and the American Identities galleries. The pace is entirely yours, with time to linger, question, and absorb. The museum is just 15 minutes from the cruise terminal, making this a seamlessly luxurious half-day.
