The Metropolitan Museum of Art welcomes students to a program of free classes held after school and on weekends. Both junior high and high school students have the rare and special opportunity to study original works of art in the Museum with instructors from the Education Department. All classes ask students to be active participants in understanding and appreciating works of art, and to look and respond through discussion in the galleries or through the creation of their own works of art in the studio. Museum Classes For High School Students Gallery discussions and studio projects introduce art from all parts of the world and all periods in history. Classes allow students to discover new ways of looking at, understanding, and appreciating works of art in the Museum.
Most classes meet for multiple sessions.
For specific times and dates of upcoming programs, consult the Museum's online calendar . The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers its Audio Guide free with Museum admission to high school students upon presentation of a valid school ID card.
