Lawrence of Babylon Tours took us on a wonderful 2 1/2 hour tour of the gallery. With over 2400 works of art and only two working feet, roaming the gallery would have been daunting and exhausting. Lawrence boiled the collection down to about 30 outstanding pieces for which he supplied illuminating context and interpretation. I know a thing or two, but Lawrence taught me plenty I didn’t. He was very knowledgeable about the gallery as a whole, locating the Caravaggios and a few other personal favorites that weren’t on the tour. A highly enjoyable afternoon!
