Join me - an art historian, curator and museum educator - on a fascinating journey through the world of art. My relentless 20-year quest revolves around one fundamental question: "What exactly does art offer its viewers?" In my search for answers, I've staged art projects in prestigious exhibition spaces and fascinating locations, from an abandoned factory to the most prestigious international art shows. While working in television, I delved into the collections of the world's most iconic museums. As a museum professional, I have meticulously studied museum practice at leading institutions in Europe and the USA. While my academic background includes a Master of Arts in Art History, my extensive experience has convinced me that art history alone offers a somewhat narrow perspective. This insight inspired the creation of the curated art tours in Vienna's art museums. These tours seamlessly combine stories of styles and artists with elements of anthropology, economics, evolutionary psychology and a touch of everyday life. I invite you to join me in exploring the world of art, where every museum visit becomes an enriching experience that adds a unique dimension to life! Master of Arts in Art History I am a museum guide and I do excursions in all museum collections, but not in the city. I meet all guests at the entrance to the museum, I do not pick up visitors from their hotels.
