What to expect
Your guide will lead you through the gallery's main galleries, stopping at landmark paintings and explaining what makes each one significant. Expect a conversational rather than lecture-style approach—guides will encourage questions and tailor commentary to your interests. The pace is measured; you're not rushing past works. Note that certain rooms enforce quiet zones where discussion is restricted, and your guide will brief you before entering these spaces. The gallery does occasionally close without warning; if delays exceed an hour, you'll be offered an alternative venue rather than a refund.
