Donna was our tour guide, she had incredible history and back stories on the art work...we learned so much in our time together (it became a little comical when people started following us around the museum trying to listen in on her insights). The museum is HUGE, we would have missed so much incredible art without Donnas guidance. Seriously, don't try and go this museum alone or you will miss out on some amazing art. Thanks Donna!!

This tour highlighted the important pieces of art in a chronological order. The guide knew exactly the location of these paintings in the gallery, knew about the artist and the meaning of the piece of art. It saved us a tremendous amount of time. She had a good knowledge of both art history and the gallery.
