School Partnerships

Take your Met experience further with a school partnership!

Mini Residencies

A limited number of free mini residencies are available for New York City Title I and District 75 schools and open to all K–12 grade levels and subjects.

These in-person residencies, led by a Met teaching artist, consist of three parts:

Pre-tour program designed to introduce students to the Museum;
Museum tour focused on exploring artworks through inquiry-based discussion;
Post-tour program during which students respond to the artwork through art making and other creative activities.

Programs investigate a socially engaged essential question and make connections between original works of art and their own lives. They are designed to develop students' critical thinking skills, evidenced-based reasoning, social and emotional learning, and creativity.

Met mini residencies are scheduled on a seasonal basis. Request a residency:
