Discover ART with Dr Bryony Bery
Please see a selection of comments from those who’ve been on a London’s Art Seen Tour below:
“I was given a London’s Art Seen tour as a gift. I chose to visit the National Gallery and was particularly interested in the modern art they hold. The selection of paintings for the tour were excellent providing a unique experience for us. The tour developed our own knowledge of the collection held within the National Gallery which is what I wanted.The tour concluded with a pack containing all of the paintings we had visited. This has provided a delightful memory of the tour to look back on and has resulted in revisiting the Gallery to look at the paintings again with my family.For any person with an interest in art, London’s Art Seen tours are a must and make a truly memorable gift for any age.”
“I was lucky enough to be given a London’s Art Seen gift voucher for my birthday and what a treat it was. A fantastic selection of pictures with a grand finale. Bryony’s knowledge and delivery were wonderful, highly recommended.”
“Thank you so much for our tour yesterday. We really enjoyed your interpretation of our theme. It took us to some places we might not have looked for - really fascinating and inspirational.”
“I loved finding out what materials the sculptures were made of. I also loved finding the clues because it was exciting”
“Thank you Dr. Bryony Bery for a fascinating tour at Tate Modern. I found it informative, inspiring and very thought provoking and I was still thinking about the works seen several days later! Your insight and knowledge of the artists’ works, their motivation, methods and materials as well as their influence on the art world, helped me to understand and to look again with ‘fresh eyes’. Brilliant and thank you again.”
“It was a great pleasure to be taken around and shown a number of art works at Tate Modern. Dr Bery illuminated my understanding and I engaged with some works I would have previously passed by. For anyone who wishes to have a better understanding and increase their experience of contemporary visual art, I can think of no better way than by taking one of her tours.”
“Thank you so much for taking us around the National Gallery. I would recommend taking a tour with Bryony - I had my 2 daughters with me 14 & 11, and she made it really interesting for them as well. Not just the history of each painting & artist but looking at the technique & materials used by the artists. Also asking our thoughts and opinions. She is lovely & incredibly knowledgeable & answered all our questions It made the visit really enjoyable and we all definitely learnt things!!”
“Excellent morning’s tour with Bryony today who had created a personalised itinerary on the theme of water for us. Really fascinating to see how this was interpreted across the 12 works SEEN. A totally enthralling hour in a stunning setting, thank you very much Bryony. We will certainly be recommending this experience and purchasing gift vouchers for our friends and family.”
“Thank you for an hour full of interesting insights. I enjoyed it very much.”
“***** I have always enjoyed art galleries, but tend to look at every piece (including labels), then find myself tired and with an aching back by the end of the first room! With London’s Art Seen, I loved that someone else had mapped it all out for me and led me from one piece to another. No thought or effort was required from me, so it felt strangely decadent and allowed me to focus my attention fully on the art ... End result – a happy, far more enlightened person with no aching back and a great, new gift idea (not least for myself).””
