What To Expect
Make your way to the National Gallery of Art, where this tour begins, and meet a guide and group that's limited to 8 people for a personal experience of the museum. See each piece in context as you follow a carefully-designed route to the most important works in the gallery. Take in masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and Edward Degas, whose "˜Little Dancer' is among the museum's most beloved works. Highlights also include "˜Self Portrait' by Vincent van Gogh, "˜Alba Madonna' by Raphael, and Titian's "˜Venus with a Mirror.' Examine Gilbert Stuart's portrait of George Washington, and Clause Monet's "˜Woman with a Parasol,' a romantic favorite among Impressionist paintings. Discuss the techniques used to create these important works, and learn the history of the museum itself, which grew from a near-empty building to a world-class museum in fewer than 100 years. This 2.5-hour National Gallery of Art tour concludes at the museum, which you can continue to explore on your own.
