This type of tour enables you to see a collection through the expert eyes of our guides, who will offer you a look at it reflecting their unique perspectives and special favourites. Enthusiastically sharing their knowledge about the works, our guides take an approach based on dialogue that encourages young people to give voice to their impressions and exchange their ideas.

Allow sufficient time
Allow approximately 30 minutes for students to be greeted at the entrance, to go to the cloakroom and washroom, and to be divided into groups.
Subgroups
