Academy Gallery, Vienna

Private tour in the Galerie der Akademie, Wien

Join me for a visit to the Art Academy Gallery, in Vienna (Wien).   I will be your private traveling professore, travelling in from Amsterdam, Holland specially for you. Tour by Drs Kees Kaldenbach, a professional Art History scholar with excellent teaching skills. Specialist in Fine art and Design, Architecture and History. VIP entry. Entry best at from 9 or 10AM.

The collection started in 1822 with a magnificent gift of Count Lamberg-Sprinzenstein, who donated his famous collection of over 800 paintings to the Imperial Art Academy in Vienna. It is still tied to the Art University programme. This collection was collected and intended as a study material for artists in training. It is therefore mostly quiet and calm inside so we can focus on the works of art without being hindered by crowds. Among the highlights are Jheronimus Bosch, Van Dijck, and many others like Dürer, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Rubens, Amerling, Klimt and Hundertwasser. The paintings include early Dutch masters, Flemish masters and Italian works of art.

Vienna Vermeer. Just about the best there is.

Please note, this is a high level offer. Practicalities: I live in Amsterdam, Holland and do NOT run a travel agency.  I do however provide Fabulous international museum tours.

The plan is that you contract me for one or more days as your private ‘Professor’ and offer full transport to that city, plus hotel accommodation in the same place you will stay. We will spend quality time together in mornings and early afternoons.
