A great private tour for oldies and newbies

We took a wonderful private tour with Mark V, who was energetic and enthusiastic and conveyed interesting material both to my friend - who’d never been to the Met before - and to me (who has been there lots). As we were 2 women, I loved that he made sure to stop and analyze women painters, female subjects, and women pharaohs. He introduced us to the marvelous painter Henry Tanner. My friend was able to see the museum’s most famous highlights as well. We had a fun time finding some surprising objects in the painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware (a painting we thought we knew since grade school). Best way to introduce someone to an art museum! Thanks Mark!
