Exceptional experience. I’ll be back!! - The MET was amazing! Charlie took it to another level with his depth of knowledge and enthusiasm. Excellent skill in group participation by asking questions of the attendees. Encouraged us to think about individual art pieces and then asked why we felt that way. All this accomplished in a friendly manner, while addressing questions and accommodating each individuals interests. I plan on visiting the MET again during my next trip from Boston.
