Ongoing Programs

The Metropolitan Museum’s Department of Live Arts commissions and presents new works of performance: music, words, movement, sound, and related hybrids.

Think and look at art creatively, delve into a range of art-making practices, interact with artists, and make your own artwork inspired by 5,000 years of contemporary art.

Explore the vast world of art and culture through the lens of various viewpoints in programs ranging from gallery tours to storytelling sessions and interactive experiences with works of art.

MetSpeaks features lectures, discussions, talks, symposia, films, and forums in which compelling voices explore timely issues that connect to The Met's exhibitions and permanent collection.
