The Metropolitan Museum of Art - What's Your Met? Celebrity Tour

We asked eleven celebrities to choose their favorite works of art from our collections and tell us what the Met means to them. It would be impossible to see all the celebrities' selections in a single tour, but below you'll find some of their selections and an interactive map that shows you where to find the objects in our galleries.

What's your Met? We're inviting you to share your favorite works of art using the MyMet feature on this website or on any form of social media. Tell us which works from our collections inspire you and what the Met means to you, then see the works other visitors have chosen. Find out how to participate.
