Museum Hack

Museum Hack does renegade tours at the world’s best museums. Our tours include the untold stories of the art and artists, juicy gossip about the museum, and activities in the galleries like “Buy, Burn, Steal” where guests choose their favorite (and least favorite) pieces, or “Yearbook Tags” where guests have to match a title like “Best Hair” or “Least Likely to do X” in the portrait gallery. We also do fun photos with the art, and occasionally wine. Every tour is unique and customized on the fly to include the pieces our guides are really passionate about, not necessarily the most famous or most expensive pieces. The overall theme is to make tours fun and engaging, and help overcome Museum Fatigue — a real problem where visitors get tired and bored when they visit museums.

We offer public tours at four major museums in the US, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, the National Gallery of Art in DC, and the de Young Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in SF. We also have specialized tours including VIP Nights, Bachelorette Parties, Marriage Proposals and Team Building Tours.

Team Building is a large part of our business. We host teams for excursions through the museum that offer the same, fun and fast-paced approach as our public tours, but optimized for bringing a team closer together and fostering a great company culture. Some companies do a scavenger hunt where their team works together to follow clues in the museum. Our team building clients include Google, Facebook, Spotify, Etsy, KPMG, Lego, Adobe, ESPN, and the New Yorker — but you don’t have to be a big company to invest in team building, our minimum group size is two guests.
