What to expect
Your guide will meet you at an agreed point and take you through selected galleries, explaining context and technique as you move between paintings. They'll tailor the route based on your interests—whether that's Velázquez, Goya, Bosch, or Renaissance works. You're free to linger on pieces that resonate or move quickly past others. The guide speaks fluent English and knows the museum intimately, having passed rigorous regional examinations. Expect genuine conversation about art rather than recitation. The museum itself has lifts, accessible toilets, and flat floors throughout.
