The Art of Darkness Scavenger Hunt

Brace yourself for some serious chills and thrills…

…on this eerie adventure at the National Gallery of Art. On teams, you’ll follow a trail of clues through the museum halls and answer tricky, entertaining questions about the macabre art you find.

The sights and frights might include…

  • Captivating decapitators
  • Battered and fried saints
  • Surreal snakes and hungry sharks
  • The charming scene of a deadly avalanche
  • An artist who can truly say, “D’Angers’ my last name”

Plus, shipwrecking storms, haunting hunters, scary skulls, and much more. Scared? Don’t worry: the questions will have you laughing more than cowering. But it’s fair to say that after this hunt, you won’t see the National Gallery in quite the same way.
