Tour Description
From the famous sunflowers to iconic landscapes and self-portraits, Van Gogh and his work continue to influence our cultural imagination. But who was this man, and how did his tumultuous personality and relationships manifest in his art? Our Van Gogh Museum Tour will explore just this...
The story of Vincent Van Gogh combines high drama and a remarkable outpouring of creativity. Throughout his life, the artist suffered highs and lows, states and extremes that are expressed in his masterful, beautiful paintings. As you move through the Van Gogh Museum with your expert, you will come face to face with some of the most remarkable works the artist produced. You will learn to read the details and nuances in his paintings and learn the circumstances around why and when he painted them.
You will leave the museum with far more knowledge and appreciation for Van Gogh’s work and certainly a new approach to observing his paintings in the future.

My comments above remain the same here. Lora gave such a wonderful tour. We loved doing this in the evening because we were able to get a closer view at the art work. Lora encouraged us to notice new things based on different angles of the art work. We had limited knowledge walking in and left feeling very educated. We loved that she also gave us context about the artist mentally and his family dynamics.

I was in a wheelchair and everyone was very accommodating. Unfortunately others had to wait for me.
