With a maximum of six people per group, you are guaranteed a nearly private experience! Throughout the history of art, the male nude and homosexuality have been catalysts in the development of art. This unique tour will bring you through the depiction on not only homosexuality but also of masculinity and nudity over a period of 9000 years from Mesopotamia to 19th century French paintings. Although the main theme of much of the paintings in the Louvre is religious, the painters behind them wove a saucy network of affairs and sex - often with each other. If you want to learn about the drama between Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo and how this manifested in their art and portrayals of men, this is the tour for you!

Violette our tour guide was so helpful and friendly. She was great to talk to, and had a wealth of knowledge about the Louvre. We enjoyed her company and would definitely request her again.

This was by far my favorite tour (out of many on a three week trip across Europe) and made my first visit to the Louvre an unforgettable experience. I was specifically interested in learning about the queer history surrounding the Louvre and homoeroticism in its artwork spanning thousands of years of human civilization. I was so fortunate to find Adam’s unique tour.
I was completely blown away by the tour from start to finish. Adam is an absolute fountain of knowledge and his passion for his work is palpable. He made the experience so engaging, hilarious, and an absolute blast. I learned more from him in 3 hours than I did in entire art history courses in college. I highly recommend booking an experience with Fat Cat Tours if you visit Paris. You will not be disappointed!
