Museum tour with Grosse

I never imagined a museum tour could be this exciting, and it’s all thanks to our tour guide, Grosse! He truly loves history, art, and storytelling. He was so patient with our questions and shared fascinating facts about some artwork that would have otherwise seemed dull. I would highly recommend this guided tour to everyone, it’s definitely worth it!

Great tour and great guide

Kiran was great. His knowledge of art, history and how they are reflected in what we viewed really helped put things into context. I liked how he consistently tried to solicit our views of the paintings. His enthusiasm for the art was contagious. All in all a great couple of hours. Thank you Kiran. Go team Vermeer.
