Washington DC: National Gallery of Art Small-Group Guided Tour
Make your way to Washington DC's National Gallery of Art ahead of your appointed start time. Meet your guide and get ready to explore with a group that’s limited to just eight people for a more personal experience of the museum. See each piece in context as you follow a carefully designed route to the most important works in the gallery. Take in masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and Edward Degas, whose "Little Dancer" is among the museum’s most beloved sculptures. Highlights also include "Self Portrait" by Vincent van Gogh, "Alba Madonna" by Raphael, and Titian’s "Venus with a Mirror." Plus, examine Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of George Washington, and Claude Monet’s "Woman with a Parasol," a romantic favorite among Impressionist paintings. Discuss the techniques used to create these important works, and learn the history of the museum itself, which grew from a near-empty building to a world-class museum in fewer than 100 years. This National Gallery of Art tour concludes at the museum, which you can continue to explore on your own.
