What to expect

Your guide meets you and takes you straight past the ticket lines. You'll walk through galleries at a conversational pace, stopping in front of key works while your guide unpacks their history and technique. Expect to cover major pieces but also turn corners into quieter rooms where equally compelling paintings hang with fewer bodies around them. The 90 minutes won't exhaust you—it's designed to hit the essential pieces and give you breathing room to actually look, rather than a sprint through every room.

Good to know

Wear comfortable shoes; the museum involves considerable walking. Public transport links are nearby if needed. The guide tailors the route to your interests, so mention any particular artists or periods beforehand.
