What to expect
You'll meet your guide at an agreed point and move through the museum at a conversational pace. Rather than rushing between blockbuster paintings, expect to linger on pieces that matter to you. Your guide shares context—provenance, technique, historical moment—that most visitors miss on their own. Two hours is enough to cover substantial ground without exhaustion, focusing on quality over quantity. The headset system keeps conversations intimate even when galleries are crowded.
Good to know
Public transport reaches the museum easily. Under-18s and EEA residents under 26 enter free with valid ID and proof of residency. Gratuities are optional. Wear comfortable shoes; there's considerable walking involved. Arrive a few minutes early to allow time for ticket processing.
