Join Museum experts, such as curators, conservatives, scientists, and academics, to delve into a selection of objects exhibited in the rooms. Learn new insights and stories never told by The Met experts and take a closer look at the artwork. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions.


In this talk, discover the different plants (and insects!) used as natural dyes in medieval times to create some of the most iconic tapestries in The Met Collection, such as King Arthur's tapestry, one of the first acquisitions of the Museum of the Nine Heroes series.


Free with the entrance to the Museum. The price of the ticket is at the discretion of the New York State resident visitor and is free for those under 12 accompanied by an adult and for the accompanying caregiver of a visitor with disability.
