Museum Hack DC

I’m a big fan of the National Gallery, and museums in general, so I was intrigued when I heard about this company that promises a unique spin on the old docent tour. So I signed up and attended a tour given by Hannah one chilly Saturday afternoon. She whisked our small group immediately to the Da Vinci, which I’ve seen numerous times, but Hannah recounted some fascinating, sordid stories about the painting’s subject and the twisty, turny history of the object itself. From there, she led us throughout the museum for two hours, stopping at famous and obscure works alike and enlivening them with details on history, technique and sexy intrigue. Hannah said that between her and her partner, they probably have about 18 hours of material for the museum, so repeat attendance pays off. High recommendation.
