The Met 360° Project

This award-winning series of six short videos invites viewers around the world to virtually visit The Met's art and architecture in a fresh, immersive way. Created using spherical 360° technology, it allows viewers to explore some of the Museum's iconic spaces as never before.

Viewed more than 11 million times, this series affords an access and a perspective typically unavailable to the public. Viewers can experience the magic of standing in an empty gallery after-hours, witnessing a bustling space in time-lapse, or floating high above The Met Cloisters for a bird's-eye view. We strung cables, removed protective covers from works of art, and rigged cameras up high, all to allow viewers to explore The Met as never before.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how we created the videos in a Digital Underground article written by Director/Producer Nina Diamond.

You may view these videos on YouTube on multiple devices:

• On your smartphone: Move your phone up, down, and behind you to see all directions.
• On your desktop computer: Use the mouse to scroll in all directions. (Note: For an optimal user experience, use Chrome or Firefox as your browser.)
• On Google Cardboard or a VR headset

Be sure to turn up the volume to hear the music, too.

Architect Richard Morris Hunt designed this majestic space in 1902. He never could have imagined that today the Museum's main entry greets more than six million visitors a year. Now you can experience its Neoclassical grandeur in a way no one ever has before.

Come explore not just behind the scenes, but everywhere in 360°. This video lets you soar past the colonnades, up toward the oculus in the ceiling, and cast a look down over the Grand Staircase and balcony. Aren't you curious who creates those colossal flower arrangements when you're still asleep?

The Met Cloisters

Take to the sky to explore the majestic vistas of The Met Cloisters. This branch of the Museum in northern Manhattan’s Fort Tryon Park is dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe.

Explore 360° views over the city, across the Hudson River, and high above two richly landscaped gardens. Inside, spin around to admire the medieval cloisters that form the core of the historic building, and listen to the resonant chimes from the bell tower, more than 100 feet above ground.

The Temple of Dendur

Immerse yourself in this 360° video capturing dawn to dusk in the Temple of Dendur. Built around 15 B.C. when the Roman Emperor Augustus ruled Egypt, the temple was a 1968 gift from Egypt to the United States in recognition of support given to save its monuments threatened by the Nile.

The temple's setting in The Sackler Wing was designed to approximate the light and surroundings of its original location in Nubia, including a reflecting pool that evokes the Nile.

The Met Breuer

On March 18, 2016, The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened The Met Breuer, its new space was dedicated to modern and contemporary art.

Whether you're a recent or longtime fan of the building's classic modernist design, or have just been struck by its bold form at Madison Avenue and 75th Street–here's your chance to enjoy a 360° perspective on architect Marcel Breuer's landmark 1966 creation. Scan up the jagged facade to the trapezoidal window with clouds above, or hover inside the entrance lobby over the sunken garden courtyard.

After four years, the Museum has now permanently closed its Breuer location. The Frick Collection will take over the building during the upgrade and renovation of its museum space at 1 East 70th Street.

The Charles Engelhard Court

Come explore the crown jewel of The Met's American Wing in spherical 360° video. Float in mid-air among the sculptures, including cheek-to-cheek with the gilded sculpture of Diana on its tall pedestal. Try tipping your view over the upper balcony's edge to witness the crowd below in time-lapse—all using your mouse, track pad, or smartphone. You can even peek at the easels of two artists at work.

Flanked by stunning Tiffany stained-glass windows, The Charles Engelhard Court in The American Wing houses some of the Museum's most iconic sculptures, mosaics, and architectural elements.

Arms and Armor Galleries

Visit The Met's distinguished collection of arms and armor from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and America. Experience the galleries from above and take a closer look at some of the key objects of sculptural and ornamental beauty—all in 360. This may be the only time you’ll ever get to stand in the middle of a parade of armored soldiers on horseback. No matter where you turn—from the flags overhead to the weapons gleaming below—you'll find unprecedented access to these masterpieces of original design and traditional craftsmanship.

Museum of Natural History :: 360° Virtual Tour

The building that houses the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda is New York State’s official memorial to the 26th president of the United States, who not only led expeditions for the American Museum of Natural History and augmented its collections with new species, but also strengthened the cause for national conservation. Designed by John Russell Pope, the Rotunda was dedicated in 1936 and declared a New York City landmark in 1967. It serves as the Museum’s main entrance lobby, and is home to the  Barosaurus  exhibit, the world’s tallest freestanding mount of a dinosaur

Since its opening in 1936, the Akeley Hall of African Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City has been considered one of the world’s greatest museum displays. The hall is named after Carl Akeley (1864-1926), the explorer, conservationist, taxidermist, sculptor, and photographer who conceived of, designed, and collected for the hall. All the mammal dioramas in the Museum were created using his highly refined taxidermy and mounting techniques. The animals have been reconstructed with such scientific accuracy and detail that they appear astoundingly lifelike. Akeley’s meticulous attention to veracity, which was applied to the plants, the painted backgrounds, and even the lighting in the dioramas, resulted in faithful and vivid reproductions of the worlds that he wanted to preserve.

The 28 dioramas in this hall, true works of art, depict some of the many animals and habitats of Africa, from the bongo and mandrill of the dense rain forests to the impala and elephant of the savannah. Carl Akeley had a lifelong devotion to the continent of Africa and the conservation of its beautiful wilderness areas. He traveled there many times, embarking on three expeditions for the Museum. During his final expedition, he fell ill and died. He was buried in Albert National Park (now Virunga National Park), the first wildlife sanctuary in central Africa, which he had helped to establish. The mountain location of his grave is near the scene depicted in the gorilla diorama in this hall.

Take a virtual tour of these NYC cultural institutions from home

Stuck inside? You can still experience some of New York’s best cultural offerings from your home

New Yorkers are spending more time at home than likely ever before, as the novel coronavirus pandemic has led to limits on how many people can gather in one place at any given time, and the widespread closure of the city’s myriad cultural institutions.

But many of those institutions—museums, parks, performing arts centers, libraries, and more—have risen to the challenge, providing virtual access to their buildings and collections. In a challenging time, these virtual experiences offer New Yorkers many ways to stay entertained and connected to the city’s plethora of incredible cultural offerings.

Below, find a list of what’s available from various online platforms, museums, and more.

Several New York City museums can be experienced via Google’s Arts & Culture platform , including the Met , the Museum of Modern Art , the Brooklyn Museum , and the Cooper Hewitt . In addition to providing a glimpse at those museums’ collections, the platform also lets you explore their buildings—so if you’ve never visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s nautilus-inspired Guggenheim building , now’s the time to do so (virtually).

Some museums also have virtual tours or exhibitions on their websites, including the Frick , the Museum of the City of New York , the Whitney Museum , the New-York Historical Society , the New York Public Library , The New York Transit Museum , and the Tenement Museum .

In a partnership with the New York Latino Film Festival, each week El Museo del Barrio will feature shorts, films, and documentaries from the fest on its website. The American Museum of Natural History is sharing previously recorded tours via its Facebook and Twitter accounts . History buffs can listen to more than 350 oral histories from New Yorkers on the Coney Island History Project’s website in addition to exploring their online collections .

Many city museums have also shared items from their collections using the hashtag #MuseumAtHome and #MuseumMomentofZen on Twitter—both are good to follow if you need a moment of levity in the middle of a stressful time.

Though New York City’s library branches are closed, many of the services that they provide—including access to e-books, research materials, and more—are available digitally. See what’s available via the New York Public Library , Brooklyn Public Library , and the Queens Public Library .

Many city parks remain open, but one of the most popular outdoor spots—the High Line—has closed for now. But you can still go on a virtual tour of the elevated park through Google Arts & Culture .

Looking for some activities in honor of Earth Day? The Museum of the City of New York has a bevy of resources for young environmentalists . A video explains the day’s origins and features readings of two ecologically themed picture books. For a jaunt in the outdoors without physically going outside, the New York City Parks Department offers virtual tours of some of its flagship green spaces, including Central Park and the Staten Island Greenbelt . The Parks@Home webpage also offers an array of digital content including live broadcasts from park rangers, of how-tos for up-cycled art projects, and of meditation sessions.

At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Sakura Matsuri , or cherry blossom festival, has been an annual tradition since 1982. The garden was forced to cancel this year’s festival, but it’s still possible to admire the blossoms from afar: virtual tours will be available on its Instagram and Facebook pages.

And the Natural Areas Conservancy has a nifty online map that charts the more than 20,000 acres of the city’s natural areas—forests, freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, and streams—if you’re hankering for some outdoor exploration.

The New York Landmarks Conservancy has a video series called “Tourist In Your Own Town,” which takes viewers on tours of historic landmarks (including President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace and the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum).

The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission has launched Seneca Village Unearthed , an online exhibit and collection of artifacts from what was once New York City’s largest community of free African-American landowners. The exhibit offers access to nearly 300 artifacts for a glimpse of what life was like for Seneca villagers in the mid-19th century.

Urban Archive is another resource chock full of digital resources to explore in partnership with 40 museums, cultural organizations, and government agencies. The archive offers a seemingly endless collection of curated historic images and their histories. For instance, as part of the #NewYorkfromHome campaign, the Municipal Arts Society and Urban Archive create two digital tours: Epidemic, New York in 1918 , and Hospitals through History .

The 92nd Street Y has also made videos from its archives available to watch at home, and will livestream some of its planned concerts.

In the first in a series of online shows created for the Pace Gallery, the digital exhibit Saul Steinberg: Imagined Interiors brings together drawings, collages, and photographs by New York-based cartoonist and illustrator Saul Steinberg. The show explores interior spaces as sites for introspection and creativity, and will be on view online until April 6.

Experience VR, AR and digital art in NYC

These mind-blowing high-tech activities might just change the way you look at New York City

It’s easier than ever to lose yourself in a virtual world. But do all of those experiences have to be through a video game played from your couch? No! These of-the-moment VR, AR, digital-art activities, which span from Brooklyn to Central Park , will get you out of the house and exploring NYC. —Dan Morgridge

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

VR, AR and digital-art experiences in NYC

Take an architectural tour—on a quantum level.

Tucked away in an industrial basement under Chelsea Market, Turkish artist Refik Anadol’s large-format installation Machine Hallucination transforms more than 300 million open-source images of New York City’s past and present into a powerful algorithm. At its most basic, this marvel at Artechouse uncovers the buried connections between the city’s contemporary and historical architecture; at its most extreme, it uses our iconic skyline and landmarks to create new, shifting worlds that defy recognition. The result is a forward-thinking retrospective that renders a 16K-resolution, 150-megapixel version of NYC.

Chelsea ( artechouse.com/nyc ). $24.

Peruse virtual works of art

The High Line is getting high tech, people. That’s thanks to Art Has No Limits , which features a guided augmented-reality tour through Richard Humann’s and Shuli Sadé’s impressive virtual works that are scattered throughout the famed elevated park. The pieces were curated by AERY, an AR app for fine art that creates experiences for galleries.

Chelsea ( highlinenine.com ); free.

Pilot a plane through the sky

Hubneo has some pretty impressive technology on deck: The MSI VR One backpack boasts VR sans the cumbersome cord, plus oodles of thrills: The homemade flight simulator can pitch and roll up to 27 degrees. But its most intriguing offer may be the most mundane: The Virtual Reality Driving School delivers a stronger dose of adrenaline than maneuvering a tank or manning a spaceship: steering a car through Manhattan during rush hour.

Lower East Side ( hubneo.com ). One hour $50.

See poetry float through the air above Central Park

Want Nick Cave, Cao Fei, Carsten Höller, Pipilotti Rist, Nathalie Djurberg, Hans Berg or the late John Giorno to talk you through the city’s most beloved green space? Enter [AR]T Walk , a collaboration between the New Museum and Apple that offers curated tours of New York’s backyard. Read musings as they crawl past you in the sky or switch paths to follow musical beings who are being drawn upward by a King Kong–esque beast atop a skyscraper.

Central Park . Sign up at  apple.com . Free.

Teleport to an archaeological dig

Preteen you and current you agree: T. rexes are awesome. The American Museum of Natural History ’s exhibit “ T. rex: The Ultimate Predator ” is an immersive ode to the king of dinosaurs, complete with a virtual twist that will make your childhood dreams come true. Guests can don a VR headset, virtually assemble the bones of a T. rex and—in a marked improvement on reality—watch it come to life and strut about in imagined Mesozoic environs. You can even get hands-on with bones and fossilized dino droppings.

Upper West Side ( amnh.org ). $28 (includes general admission). Through Aug.

Dig into a surrealist feast

The James Beard Foundation has partnered VR artist Mattia Casalegno with Adda Indian Canteen chefs Roni Mazumdar and Chintan Pandya to whip up a mesmerizing meal in which audiovisual elements bring new meaning to the phrase playing with your food . At Aerobanquets RMX , courses of real (and fake) grub become so strange, you’ll feel like Alice taking tea in Wonderland—one bite, and the room fills with milky waves.

Chelsea ( jamesbeard.org ). $125.  Through Dec 29.  

Live out all your Ready Player One gaming fantasies

Claiming to be the largest VR destination in North America, VR World boasts 15,000 square feet that comprise a dizzying array of games for solo exploration and team madness. Dodgeball with homing missiles? Sure. Want to understand the history of film from behind the camera? Here, you can zoom through it in 10 minutes. There’s some local flavor, too, like a trippy ode to mac and cheese via Bushwick rapper Kassa Overall’s virtual music video.

Midtown ( vrworldnyc.com ). One day $64.

Visit a digital underground

You don’t need virtual reality to blur your perceptions. Like a haunted house hoping to inspire awe instead of fear, ZeroSpace fuses actors, special effects and digital-art installations to craft for each guest a world to get lost inside.

Midtown ( zerospace.co ). $50. Through Dec 29.

Enter a gallery tailored to your brain

“We believe VR can be used for so much more than just shooting zombies,” says David Askaryan, founder of the Museum of Future Experiences . Trained facilitators will use individual analysis to take you through a mix of immersive theater and “virtual-reality dreams prescribed” just for them. The next exhibit should debut in winter 2020, but check the institution’s website for updates and details.

Cnn’s dana bash sees book event thrown into disarray by anti-israel protesters.

A stop on CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash’s new book tour was thrown into disarray when anti-Israel protesters crashed the event.

Bash was promoting her book “America’s Deadliest Election: The Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History” at a Thursday night event hosted by Washington, D.C. independent bookstore Politics and Prose.

BREAKING: CNN's Dana Bash had her event, America's Deadliest Election, at DC Bookstore, Politics and Prose, interrupted multiple times by pro-Palestine protesters who accused her of being complicit in genocide. Bash's response: "Take off your mask." pic.twitter.com/mSPk4MFAbK — Stu (@thestustustudio) September 6, 2024

At least two protesters crashed the event and walked in front of the seated audience gathered in the bookstore to face Bash. 

“You belong behind bars!” one protester can be seen yelling at Bash in a video from the event. “You are complicit in the genocide!”

“Every single time she lies, a neighborhood in Gaza dies!” the protester yelled. “She is killing people! You know you are! Look me in the eye! Look me in the eye!”

“You don’t deserve to look [her] in the eyes,” an audience member retorted.

The protester continued to yell at Bash, calling her a “killer,” as two men in police uniforms escorted her out of the bookstore. 

“Take your mask off,” an audience member said as the protester was being walked out.

A second protester then took over the one-sided screaming match. 

“You’re taking millions and you’re living in that house all alone, that multi-million dollar house,” the protester said. “You’re taking it to spew lies about the Palestinian people!”

The Jewish CNN anchor — who didn’t engage with the protesters — has criticized the disruptive pro-Palestinian protests that have erupted on college campuses across the country.

“Now, protesting the way the Israeli government, the Israeli prime minister is prosecuting the retaliatory war against Hamas is one thing,” Bash previously said during her “Inside Politics” program. “Making Jewish students feel unsafe at their own schools is unacceptable. And it is happening way too much right now.”

A CNN spokesperson called Bash “a highly respected veteran journalist” who has covered politics “fairly” for more than thirty years.

“We firmly stand by her and her reporting, and while we respect the right of free speech, we will not be intimidated and will continue to cover all subjects without fear or favor,” a CNN spokesperson told The Post in a statement.

Bash’s book parallels the election of 1872 – when both major parties accused the other of corruption and racism and violence ran rampant across the country – to today’s tense political atmosphere. 

The audience member’s call for the protesters to remove their masks is not an uncommon one. 

Long Island’s Nassau County became the first to pass a controversial ban on wearing face coverings in public, making it a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and $1,000 fine. The ban exempts people who wear the masks for healthy, safety, religious or cultural reasons.

The Republican-controlled county legislature passed the act in response to an uptick in antisemitic incidents, which county lawmakers claimed are often committed by those wearing masks.

A New York-based disability advocacy group filed a lawsuit against the ban, arguing it is unconstitutional and discriminates against people with disabilities.

( A previous version of this story incorrectly attributed an audience member’s quotes to Dana Bash. A CNN spokesperson said Bash did not engage with the protesters and allowed them to peacefully protest.)

Tucker Carlson Criticized for Hosting Holocaust Revisionist

Mr. Carlson’s guest on “Tucker on X” made a variety of false claims about the Holocaust and World War II.

• Share full article

By Katie Robertson

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News star turned podcaster, has come under fire for hosting a Holocaust revisionist on his show, drawing rebukes from conservative lawmakers as well as the White House.

The comments were made by the podcaster Darryl Cooper on Mr. Carlson’s show “Tucker on X” on the social media platform. Mr. Carlson, who has hosted the show since Fox severed ties with him in 2023, introduced Mr. Cooper as “the most important popular historian working in the United States today.”

Mr. Cooper, who has a podcast and newsletter called “Martyr Made,” proceeded to make a variety of false claims about the Holocaust and World War II, including that millions of people in concentration camps “ended up dead” merely because the Nazis did not have enough resources to care for them, rather than as a result of the intentional genocide that it was. Mr. Cooper also claimed that Winston Churchill, the British prime minister at the time, and not Adolf Hitler, was “primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.”

As of Friday morning, the video had been viewed nearly 30 million times. Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, on Tuesday promoted Mr. Carlson’s interview as “very interesting” and “worth watching,” but later deleted his post.

Mr. Carlson’s endorsement of Mr. Cooper has sparked considerable outrage from the Biden administration and among some conservatives.

Representative Mike Lawler, Republican of New York, condemned the interview, saying in a statement to The Jewish Insider : “Platforming known Holocaust revisionists is deeply disturbing.”

A White House spokesman, Andrew Bates, said in a statement: “Giving a microphone to a Holocaust denier who spreads Nazi propaganda is a disgusting and sadistic insult to all Americans, to the memory of the over six million Jews who were genocidally murdered by Adolf Hitler, to the service of the millions of Americans who fought to defeat Nazism and to every subsequent victim of antisemitism.”

Mr. Bates said the Biden administration condemned “trafficking in this moral rot” that was “unacceptable at any time, let alone less than one year after the deadliest massacre perpetrated against the Jewish people since the Holocaust and at a time when the cancer of antisemitism is growing all over the world.”

Former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, have so far refused to distance themselves from Mr. Carlson, who is still an important figure in right-wing politics despite no longer having his platform on Fox. Mr. Carlson had a headline speaking slot at the Republican National Convention in July.

Mr. Carlson is scheduled to appear on Sept. 21 in Hershey, Pa., with Mr. Vance as his guest. In a statement on Friday, Mr. Vance’s campaign said he “doesn’t believe in guilt-by-association cancel culture, but he obviously does not share the views of the guest interviewed by Tucker Carlson.”

In response to inquiries from The New York Times on Friday, an adviser for Mr. Carlson declined to comment on the criticism of the interview, but noted that Mr. Vance was still confirmed to join Mr. Carlson’s tour later this month and that the tour was “selling out at a record pace.”

The conservative columnist Sohrab Amari pushed back fiercely against Mr. Cooper’s views and observed that Mr. Carlson, “a journalist I used to admire,” gave Mr. Cooper “the same credulous, uncritical treatment he now seems to reserve for all the crackpots who frequently grace the podcast he hosts on X.” Erick Erickson, the conservative talk radio host, wrote on X this week: “Didn’t expect Tucker Carlson to become an outlet for Nazi apologetics, but here we are.”

In a post on X, Mr. Cooper said the “furor” over his interview with Mr. Tucker was “totally mendacious, claiming the literal opposite of what was actually said, too shameless to care that people can easily go see the video themselves.”
