A promenade among French paintings

About
We invite you to a promenade among our collection of French paintings.
Be awed by the splendour and formality of the painters of the 'Grand Siècle' or Great Century, before delving into the more relaxed atmosphere of the Rococo period. Understanding the Académie, France's art authority, will help you explore the great artistic revolutions of the 19th century, when Paris became the birthplace of modern art.
This is a guided walking tour through the collection for which headsets will be provided. Please meet at the Information Desk in the Sainsbury Wing Foyer.
