Baltimore: Walters Museum of Art Private Guided Tour｜United States

Discover the Walters Museum of Art on a private guided tour focusing on its medieval and Renaissance galleries. Explore the museum with an art historian and college professor, and learn about the social function of these objects and why they look the way they do.

"Why does it look so weird?!" It is the most common question about medieval art. Medieval art is weird, unsettling, and uncanny but also imaginative and moving.

Art is always defined by a series of choices to convey various messages. The artist and patron chose it to look this way, not any other way. So, what are these messages? What was the social function of these objects? Why do they look the way they look?

It is our job to figure out why. Explore the museum with your guide, who has worked in museums and taught art history in the colleges of Baltimore. Search for answers together during your 1.5-hour interactive tour.
