Social Entertaining

The Met offers individual donors after-hours access to the galleries for private celebrations. From birthdays to anniversaries, a special event at the Museum is one to be remembered.

Please see our Social Entertaining Brochure for a list of available galleries, pricing, and approved vendors.
