The Metropolitan Museum of Art Scavenger Hunt

Directions: As you look around the MET museum, please answer the following
questions. Some questions may require you to read descriptions of the art which
are normally located right next to the piece or even on the piece of art (e.g.,
sculptures). I have grouped the questions to specific kinds of art to help save time
since it is a BIG museum.

Rules for the game:

1. You MUST stay with your group. You cant not split up and go different places to look
for the answers. You need to stay with your group members at all times.
2. DO NOT USE YOUR PHONES TO LOOK UP THE ANSWER! Many of the answers
may be hard to look it up on your phone anyways.
3. The group that completes all questions and answers the most or all correct by 11:45pm
will win the game.

WARNING: If you do not give me this packet before 12pm, you will be disqualified!!

IMPORTANT! To contact me please email me at mk3788@tc.columbia.edu

You can email me when you are done so that you can give me your packet.
There is Wifi in the museum so make sure you connect If you and your
group happen to get lost in the museum, there are workers at almost every
corner to help you! ASK FOR HELP.
