Egypt in New York – Family Tour
“In every generation a person must regard themselves as though they personally had gone out of Egypt”
(Talmud, Pesachim 10:5)
You don’t have to leave New York to do that!
Join an experienced and captivating museum guide and educator on an experiential adventure in the world-class Egyptian galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Journey back in time to Ancient Egypt with a fresh look and take home something new to enhance your own Passover experience.
Journey up the Nile into an ancient world of mystery, mummies, mythical beasts and family feuds, with a unique perspective on Jewish History and Lore. This tour is offered on two tracks. This is a shorter family tour open to kids ages 6-10. The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially “the Met”, is the largest art museum in the United States. With 7.06 million visitors to its three locations in 2016, it was the third most visited art museum in the world, and the fifth most visited museum of any kind.
