Closing Time at the Louvre: The Mona Lisa at Her Most Peaceful

Absolutely loved this tour! Our guide brought along his IPad to show us different examples through out the tour. Really helped to give us a full understanding of some of the many pieces we saw Very knowledgeable and kind. Gave us time to linger as we went but made sure that we saw all of the high points through out the museum.

Adam was amazing! He’s truly an expert in his field. We were engaged the entire tour (which we’ve never experienced before) and learned so much about art, sculptures, and the artists themselves. Doing this “after hours” made it much easier to get around. There were some crowds but Adam was able to get us in the best spots. I am already planning our next trip back to include several tours with Adam! Team Adam for life!

Our guide Adam was enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the Louvre itself as well as the pieces on display. The tour was fun and educational. Adam shared history/details about the techniques used to create the pieces, what we can/have learned from the pieces, and how we can determine origins or what statues may be an original or a replica with a few key details. There were several Leonardo da Vinci paintings on display. Adam showed us those (and other pieces from around the time) before the Mona Lisa to tell us more about the techniques Leonardo used and demonstrate how revolutionary and influential Leonardo was. This also helped us have a greater appreciation for the Mona Lisa.

Adam was amazing!! So knowledgeable. It was great to learn about the art from his perspective. I learned so much and we all stayed so engaged. He’s a true scientist and rockstar!
