Tour the Met with the author of a major new book from Simon & Schuster about a decade spent as a guard in the Met's galleries. I’m Patrick and I worked for a decade as a guard at the Metropolitan museum of Art. Early next year, Simon & Schuster will publish my memoir, ALL THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD, a portrait of the Met and its collections from the intimate vantage of its extraordinary corps of guards. Alex Ross of The New Yorker calls it “an astounding book about an astounding place.” I offer unique, in-depth tours for art lovers and history buffs, and I take my storytelling just as seriously as I do my writing.
