What to expect

Explore a world-class art collection with an energetic guide during this 2.5-hour guided tour of the National Gallery. Discuss the museum’s most prominent paintings so that even if you are a first-time visitor you can appreciate these iconic works.

Let your guide immerse you in the techniques and history behind some of the world’s most famous artists. You’ve heard of Seurat and da Vinci, but what do you really know about them? Learn about the painters behind the paintings as you browse works by masters like Botticelli, Monet, Rembrandt, and Vermeer.

The National Gallery houses paintings dating back to the 1300s up through the 1900s, so there is no shortage of choice. Visit Jan van Eyck’s “The Arnolfini Portrait” or something more familiar like Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” to understand the full scope of work on display. During your tour, you'll be provided with the essential information and history needed to appreciate the more than 2300 paintings at one of the world’s most visited museums.
