Look together with children
Try a few small discoveries and leave room to change the plan.
The Met / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring The Met with our travel partners.
Choose another kind of object
The Armor of Henry II offers joints, moving plates and small decoration to examine. The Harvesters offers people resting and working across a wide landscape. These works are in different parts of the museum, so choose the option that suits where you already are.
Pick stories that suit your group
Perseus with the Head of Medusa includes a severed head. Ugolino and His Sons tells a story of imprisonment and starvation. You can read the cards yourself before deciding to stop with children, or choose another work nearby.
Make space for other visitors
Look without touching the objects or their displays. Walk in the galleries, keep children off shoulders and use the seats for a rest. Strollers are generally welcome, although some exhibitions have restrictions. Keep younger visitors close as you move from one room to another.
