You'll encounter the Winged Victory, the Milo Venus, Leonardo's portrait, and other canonical pieces that define Western art.

What to expect
Your guide meets you inside and cuts straight to the canonical works rather than attempting encyclopaedic coverage. Expect tight galleries, especially around Leonardo's portrait, and a running commentary that contextualises what you're seeing rather than drowning you in dates. The tour moves steadily but without rushing; you'll have time to actually look. The guide handles logistics—where to stand, what to notice—so you don't waste energy on logistics yourself. This is a primer for the uninitiated, not a specialist deep-dive.
