What to expect
Your guide will meet you inside the gallery and quickly assess what sparks your kids' interest—whether that's the drama in a Caravaggio, the dreamlike quality of a Van Gogh, or the detail in a Dürer. Rather than marching through room after room, she'll linger on select paintings, asking questions that draw children into looking closely. Parents often find themselves seeing familiar works differently through a child's observations. Expect a relaxed pace with room for questions and the odd moment of standing still while someone takes in a painting.
