Mark Venaglia’s tour of the Met was nothing short of extraordinary. His expertise, passion, and ability to make art accessible and meaningful transformed my visit into an enriching and thought-provoking experience. I highly, highly, recommend booking a tour with Mark for anyone seeking a deeper connection with art and its impact on society.
