After entering the gallery at the Getty entrance (away from the main entrance) you'll head inside Annenberg Court and meet your guide by the information desk. Everyone will then be given a personal headset so your guide's words can be heard clearly be all.

Your guide will then lead you around the pick of the pictures from the last 700 years, sharing their rich history and giving fascinating insights into the artists responsible for their creation.

You'll see masterpieces by famous names like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rembrandt, Titian, Canaletto and Cezanne, and admire famous paintings like Monet's The Water-Lily Pond, Turner's The Fighting Temeraire, Constable's The Hay Wain and Van Gogh's Sunflowers.

When the tour comes to an end you'll be free to continue exploring the gallery at your own leisure... or perhaps you'd like to pair the tour with an afternoon tea at the National Gallery's Ochre restaurant?
