What to expect
Your guide meets you at the Gallery and leads a focused walk through rooms of the permanent collection. Expect stops at 10–15 major works; the guide discusses each painting's historical context, the artist's method, and visual details you'd miss alone. The pace is conversational rather than rushed—you're free to linger or move on based on interest. Two hours is enough to cover a coherent narrative arc (say, Renaissance ideals through Romantic drama) without museum fatigue. If you're with children, the guide adjusts language and picks works with clearer stories.
