What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the information desk and begin a methodical walk through the galleries. Expect stops at significant works where your guide contextualises technique, era and influence rather than rattling through a checklist. The museum's layout rewards this pace—the building itself is a conversation between sculpture and space. Your guide will point out how Gehry's design frames artworks and creates sight lines you'd otherwise miss. Plan on standing and moving steadily; the tour covers substantial ground but maintains a conversational rhythm.
