Experience an exclusive journey through the Norton Simon Museum and its serene garden. This tour offers an intimate look at one of the world’s most remarkable art collections and tranquil landscapes. Over 3 decades, industrialist Norton Simon amassed an astonishing myriad of European masterworks from the Renaissance to the 20th century, alongside a stellar collection of South and Southeast Asian art spanning 2,000 years. Imagine standing before Raphael's "Madonna and Child," feeling the weight of history and artistic genius. Be drawn into Van Gogh's swirling brush strokes, experiencing his world's turmoil and beauty. With my expert insights, you'll uncover the fascinating histories and cultural significance behind these extraordinary works.
