About
The 11am tour will be hosted in English and the 3pm tour will be hosting in Italian (suitable for intermediate to native speakers). Please check the language when booking.
Expert guide Maurizio Patti leads a guided walking tour, which connects our latest exhibition, 'Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300 ‒1350', to the wider collection.
The tour gives context for those wanting to explore the collection and approach the exhibition in a different light.
Please note that the tour complements but does not take in or include entry to 'Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300 ‒1350' itself.
This is a guided walking tour through the collection for which headsets will be provided. Please meet at the Getty Desk in Annenberg Court.
'Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300 ‒1350' was organised by the National Gallery and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
