Your local English speaking guide will not only be an expert on the museum, but they will also share the stories and scandals behind these paintings, discuss the techniques used to create these important works and explain how the museum itself transformed from a nearly empty building to a world-class museum in less than 100 years. 

 Tour highlights include (if artwork is not on loan or being restored etc.):

• "Ginevra de' Benci" by Leonardo da Vinci – the only painting by this artist in the USA

• The famous portrait of "George Washington" by Gilbert Stuart
• "Self Portrait" by Vincent Van Gogh

With the collection featuring roughly 141,000 paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures and forms of new media that stretch all the way back to the Middle Ages, you'll be thankful to your passionate and engaging guide for navigating you, bringing a personal touch to each tour, adding own favorite anecdotes and tips along the way.
