With works from artists including Van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne and Manet, the Courtauld Gallery is home to one of the best art collections in the UK. Join us for a guided tour exploring the history and highlights of the collection, whilst deepening your knowledge of Art History.

Following the gallery tour, we will have an exclusive, behind-the-scenes visit to the Prints & Drawings collection (home to the largest part of the Courtauld Collection). With guidance from the Prints & Drawings curator, we will have the opportunity to get close to artworks which are rarely shown publicly.

Sketching material will be available. This session will be lead by a specialist art historian/artist.
