The Sounds and Emotions of the Art - Our guide brought life to his descriptions of the art. He heard music, saw motion and emotion in the scenes presented. Wonderful ! We loved the way he negotiated through the crowd and "owned" the territory around the pieces he wanted to share with the group. Masterful.

A packed tour. - The guided tour was very good. It packs in a lot, in little over an hour. Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable & engaged us with insights into a selection of the paintings, their artists, the techniques used & the context. Well worth it & wandering around afterwards you look at the paintings in a new light.

I’d pass on it. - It really wasn’t that great of a tour. We only covered about seven pairings and in such detail, it was laborious,
I really was hoping we would get to the top notch paintings. We only viewed and talked about three that are really great paintings that are in the collection. The rest were just her personal favorites.
