Rob expertly guided us through the Met stopping at very interesting art pieces and explaining the history of the art as well as interesting analysis of how one sees the art. We had both been here before but wanted someone to curate top pieces for us and provided us with some historical context and analytical takes on the art. Rob did just that! We appreciated his knowledge and way of looking at the art.
