Yonit Aronowicz - Paris Muse | Private & Family Tours

I find it equally challenging and rewarding to teach people about art and its history, while thinking of innovative ways to make it accessible for everyone. As an educator, one must create a storyline in order to put artists, movements and theory into context. But for me, it is also about making visitors feel ‘at home’ in an unfamiliar territory, especially in overwhelmingly grand museums like the Orsay or the Louvre. I place a strong emphasis on engaging my group in conversations about the works we encounter. As a guide I am offering a certain perspective, but I believe that we all have an ‘equal right’ and an ability to interpret art. A great guide is also a good listener and a learner. I see my work as an amazing opportunity to meet new people, who share their own eye-opening thoughts and ideas about the art on display. Teaching is a never-ending learning process.

When not leading a Muse tour you can find Yonit trying to accomplish her never-ending list of 'must see exhibits in Paris' or having a glass of rosé in good company.
