2015 With more than two million treasures, the Metropolitan Museum’s encyclopedic collection is a window to new worlds—clues to past civilizations as well as to our future. Gaze long enough at a terra-cotta amphora fragment, Kashmiri silk carpet, or Maya relief sculpture, and you are transported back to ancient Knossos, Mughal India, or pre-Columbian Mexico. Join Met curators and other experts on journeys that will awaken new insights into art and culture. Integral to all itineraries are specially arranged events, luxurious accommodations, behind-the-scenes visits, and the congenial company of like-minded travelers. Among next year’s cruises is the maiden voyage of the newly designed Volga Dream II, along the scenic waterways between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Or sail aboard the legendary Sea Cloud from Istanbul to the home of the Minotaur on Crete. Enticing new land programs also beckon in 2015. Delight in the hundreds of outdoor sculptures adorning the thousands of acres of gardens at Brazil’s Inhotim Contemporary Art Center; or experience the vibrant art fairs of Mexico City and Dubai. Explore the storied fortresses of Wales, home to more castles per square mile than any other country in the world. Discover the Baroque jewels and shared heritage of Bavaria and Bohemia. Stroll in the Shalimar Garden of Srinagar, India. Next year, the Museum’s active Met Adventures programs will take you to North India, Central Asia, and Tunisia—and will also return to Europe’s legendary pilgrimage trail, the Camino de Santiago.
