Overview

Follow centuries of art history on a 2-hour private tour of the Getty Center in Los Angeles, CA, moving from Medieval treasures all the way to the bold color of post-Impressionism.

📜 Start with Medieval art and follow the story forward through the Renaissance

🌻 Meet Van Gogh's Irises and the post-Impressionists who rewrote the rules of color

🧠 Learn the artist rivalries, friendships and secrets behind the canvases

🏛️ Pause between galleries for the architecture and city views

Two hours gives the Getty Center room to breathe. This private art history tour covers every highlight of the museum's permanent collection, then widens the lens with Medieval art at one end and post-Impressionism at the other. The result is one connected story of how art changed over the centuries, told by a guide who knows how to make it entertaining.

Expect the good gossip along with the facts: how Manet and Monet differed as friends and painters, what really makes a Rembrandt a Rembrandt, and why Van Gogh's Irises draws a crowd. The tour is private for your group, with plenty of time to linger, ask questions and enjoy the hilltop views over Los Angeles. It's a smart gift for anyone who loves art, or who has always wanted to finally "get it".
