The Met Audio Guide

🇺🇸 New York · United States · 3–4 hours

Looking for a Met audio guide? Venture does something no other guide can: it tells the story of The Met in a voice you love — your own, or a parent's, a partner's, a friend's. Record about twenty seconds of speech, and the whole tour of The Met plays back narrated in that voice. Here's what to see inside, how long to give it, and a taste of the tour itself.

What to see in The Met

A taste of the tour

“Five thousand years, two million objects, one afternoon. The Met is less a museum than a city of art — so we’ll travel it like a city, picking the streets worth walking. Start with Egypt, end on the roof.”

— the opening of the Venture Met tour, narrated in whatever voice you choose.

Questions

Can I really hear the Met tour in my own voice?
Yes. In the Venture app you record about twenty seconds of speech once, and the entire Met audio guide is narrated back in your cloned voice. You can also record a loved one's voice and hear them guide you instead.
How long is the Met audio guide?
Plan on 3–4 hours for The Met itself. The Venture tour is written to walk you to the highlights that matter rather than every gallery, so you can do it at your own pace and re-listen for free.
Is there a free Met audio guide?
You can browse the written tour and highlights for free. Recording a voice and hearing the full narrated Met tour is part of Venture Audio Tours, a $9.99/month subscription with 120 minutes of narration and unlimited replays.
Do I need Wi-Fi inside The Met?
Generate the tour before you go and it's cached on your phone, so replays work even where signal is poor.
