Overview of your Washington tour:

Washington DC is one of the greatest cities in the world for lovers of art. This half day tour will include viewings of selected masterpieces in the National Gallery of Art, one of the world's great art museums, with a huge collection of masterpieces from the Renaissance to the present day in two buildings. We will see great art from Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt to Andy Warhol. I have led tours in the National Gallery of Art many times and is am very familiar with the collection-just let me know if there is a particular area or artist that interests you and I will tailor the tour to your taste. The tour will also include the Peacock Room, decorated by James Whistler, at the Smithsonian Freer Gallery, just around the corner, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery, about a ten minute walk down the road, in a stunning building dating from 1836. Very suitable for families, I can tailor this tour to include items guaranteed to delight children!
