What to expect
Your guide meets you at the main entrance and begins by explaining how this collection took shape—a fascinating story of wealth, taste and inheritance. You'll move through salons lined with paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Canaletto, then drift into rooms devoted to sculpture, armour, porcelain and gilt furniture. The pace is entirely yours: linger before a portrait or move swiftly past lesser works. Your guide brings context—provenance, artistic technique, historical moment—without overwhelming you.
