Masterpieces of Modern Art
[ Book this tour ]
 1.5-hour tour. 4 person maximum.
The Pompidou Center's National Museum of Modern Art has an unparalleled collection of 20th-century European painting and sculpture. This tour takes advantage of the breadth and depth of this stunning collection by studying the principle avant-garde movements from 1900-1945: fauvism, cubism, dada, and surrealism. What were the central ideas behind each of these innovative approaches to art making? We answer this question by focusing on the pioneers of each "ism": Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Duchamp, Dalí, and Miró. Through close examination of selected masterpieces, we make sense of a diverse, seemingly chaotic, but always fascinating period in the history of art.
Rates. €80 for individuals, or €70 per person for parties of two or more. Includes price of admission. €20 surcharge to guarantee that your party has a one-on-one seminar with the instructor, without other parties. [ Book this tour ]
