Evening tours are available on Friday and Saturday, for a more intimate experience.

its a highlight of the main artworks with detail explanation, as the museum is quite large. Very much enjoyed the learning experience.

Rob C is extremely educated about art and history. He was funny and accommodating.
There's a security line that starts forming early but thankfully moves fast. So many great and historical pieces of art in one place. We were completely spoiled. Come ready to walk though.
