About
Expert guide Muriel Carré leads a guided walking tour, connecting our latest exhibition Discover Degas & Miss La La to the wider collection.
Touching upon elements such as Degas' contemporaries and his influence beyond Impressionism, the tour gives context for those wanting to explore the exhibition in a different light.
This tour is recommended as a companion to our latest exhibition, that centres on the circus artist Miss La La, or Anna Albertine Olga Brown (1858‒1945). Degas captured Miss La La in one of her most striking and perilous acts: suspended from a rope held between her teeth by a leather mouthpiece, hoisted up towards the ceiling of the Cirque Fernando.
This tour will move within the gallery using headsets.
