Reviews and formSvetlana drew clear connections between works from very different periods. In ninety minutes we saw the essentials, yet the tour never felt hurried. Her explanation of the light beneath the dome was especially memorable.
We chose the shorter 45-minute route and it was exactly what we wanted: a calm introduction to the museum without an overload of dates. Olga answered every question and made the logic of the galleries easy to understand.
Firuz speaks with ease and humour, but his knowledge runs deep. After the tour, we returned to several objects on our own and found ourselves seeing them in an entirely new way.
