Overview

This 2.5 hour semi-private guided museum tour welcomes up to 8 guests who want to see the world’s most iconic artists inside two extraordinary buildings. The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC is a world-class museum housing an incredible timeline of Western Art from the old masters of the Renaissance to the quintessential personalities of the 20th Century. Raphael, Rembrandt, Renoir, Picasso, and Rothko are just a handful of artist on view (as well as Vigee le Brun, Cassatt, and O’Keeffe).

Take excursion through the changes of history as told by magnificent works of art - money, power, war, hope, and triumph.

What To Expect

National Gallery of Art

Enter the National Gallery of Art and follow your guide through one of America’s best collections of artwork produced by Renaissance artists, French Impressionists, and great American painters. See works from Claude Monet, Raphael, Gilbert Stuart, and Edgar Degas, as well as more modern artists like Picasso, Pollock, Warhol, and O’Keefe, as you learn what’s really behind the creation of some of these pieces. Your guide will lead the way through the halls of the museum, telling stories, and stopping at famous works of art. Some pieces you’ll see on this tour include “Ginevra de’Benci” by Leonardo da Vinci, “Self Portrait” by Vincent Van Gogh, and “Woman with a Parasol” by Claude Monet. Listen as your guide fills you in on the techniques behind some of the paintings, as well as some of the history and scandals that happened because of them. You’ll also learn about the museum’s building which took just 100 years to transition from a nearly hollow building to the home of the US’s best art collections.

Spectacular afternoon

This was a fantastic sampler of so many treasures in the National Gallery. Our guide was wonderful- giving context and background stories on so many pieces. We covered an amazing span of artist, time periods, and styles. I saw portions of the gallery that I didn’t even know existed!

So interesting!

Our tour guide Richard made the Art Gallery come alive. He told stories and history about each period of the permanent collection and made it fun and entertaining. He was very flexible and would encourage questions and stops along the way. He ensured we had time to view key pieces and we felt very privileged to be in his capable hands. He was a terrific tour guide and we would HIGHLY recommend his tours. Seeing the gallery with him as a guide was a true gift. He is a five star tour guide! Worth it!
