Private tour of the Orsay Museum with Naomi - We had a private tour of the Orsay Museum on June 16. Naomi was a wonderful tour guide; not only was she incredibly informative about the artists, she was extremely thoughtful in discussing the role of the painters in the context of the French cultural and political environment. She was an enthusiastic presenter with a good sense of humor. This was an excellent tour!

Perfect guide and way to see the museum - This was the most perfect way to see this museum. Naomi our guide was fabulous in helping us get in and a wheelchair for my mother and taking routes through the museum to accomadate the chair and her needs. She was great in showing pieces of the collection that demonstrated techniques by various arists and what made their art special. Naomi also shared information on the artist we were looking at and about relationships that had importance to their art or the growth of painting during their time. Naomi was able to answer our questions and encouraged us to see things on our own as we were learning about the art and artists.

Excellent - Naomi does an excellent job of bringing the paintings to life and saying the story through them. She is knowledgable but importantly speaks in a simple and easy to understand language even for those who are new to this field.

Thought Provoking - Our guide Naomi was very well versed in the collection and showed us a lot that we did not expect to see. She got a bit painterly on us a couple of times, and perhaps she picked some pictures to focus on just for shock value, but he point was how the artists in this museum pushed the boundaries.
