Museums Without Men at The Met

Join guest host Katy Hessel—an arts writer and curator known for the international bestseller The Story of Art Without Men and The Great Women Artists podcast—as she highlights women artists who have been excluded from art-historical narratives and provides contemporary perspectives on issues of inclusion in the Museum and art world at large.

In conversation with Met experts, Hessel examines stories of people who went against the grain despite the odds being against them. The tour aims to encourage as many people as possible, at all levels of art-historical knowledge, to seek out work by these artists in museums.

Accessibility

Audio runtime is 15 minutes. Please be advised that the tour involves approximately 15 minutes of walking across multiple floors of the Museum, including in some areas with limited elevator access. Should you need an accessible route, please ask a security officer for assistance.
