In better times, after re-opening: Join me for a visit to the National Gallery in London, England.     I will be your private 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.

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 ‘Professore’ 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.

You can hire me and I will fly in to be your own outstanding private “Professore”. At your cost, I will fly in especially for you and I will guide you after spending a hotel night. And then a very memorable museum visit or two. Please book a time slot ticket for yourself and for the guide. New: Private Audio system available.

The London National Gallery is a true treasure house, with many halls and rooms to discover and enjoy. Founded in 1824, it now houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. The core was a purchase by the State, back in 1824, of paintings from the Angerstein collection.  The museum was thus born with purchases, and not founded on an old Nobility collection, like most great museums in Western Europe.

We will explore Dutch art, German art, and all that is delectable in English art. And Italian Art!
