Gay Secrets of the Met-A Special Tour with Professor Andrew Lear of Oscar Wilde Tours
‘During our recent trip to NYC, we had a very special tour at the Metropolitan Museum. The tour was all about the gay secrets of the Met, a world-renowned museum. Our tour was led by Professor Andrew Lear of Oscar Wilde Tours, one of our travel partners. Professor Lear entertained and enlightened us with gay secrets and stories of the artists and the art works. Despite the sophistication of the Museum and NYC in general, you would not know these gay secrets from reading the signs next to the art pieces. Here are some photos showing some of the many LGBT secrets of this wonderful museum:
Totems Showing the Unusual “Initiation” Young Men Were Put Through In Ancient New Guinea
Lesbian Lovers in a Brothel, the Work of Toulouse L’Autrec

While Not Gay, This Statue is in the words of Professor Lear “Victorian Kiddie Porn”!
A 16th Century Dutch Painting Showing Two Men Coming Onto a Young Man In Drag During Mardi Gras

What is a Gay Art Tour Without Ancient Greece? A statue of Perseus that Professor Lear refers to as “the Butt”
A Painting by the wonderful 19th Century French painter Rosa Bonheur, a Lesbian Who Dressed in Men’s Clothing. She Placed Herself in the Back of the Painting in Men’s Clothing
