Overview
Have you ever wandered through a huge museum wondering what you should be seeing, or perhaps feeling like you're missing out on something? Do you want to make the Bible come alive in a life-changing way?
In this semi-private guided tour, you'll stand in front of world famous paintings while discussing the Bible.
You will get to connect Bible passages to the paintings, then place it in a timeline so that you will understand the Bible like never before. Bible verses will no longer just be words on the page when you see a master artist bring the passage to life. As you place each event on the timeline, you will understand how they relate to each other in history.
Experience famous artwork by Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt and Caravaggio in person rather than on a screen. The time range for most of the paintings is from the 1500s to the 1800s.
The emphasis of the tour is more on the Bible story than artistic techniques though the technical side will be mentioned from time to time.

What To Expect
National Gallery
We’ll wind our way through the various galleries and see the familiar world of Jesus including scenes of his birth, miracles, death and resurrection. There are numerous paintings of the Israelites from Joseph to Moses to David. We'll also see depictions of legends attributed to various Biblical people, and discuss scenes from the apocryphal writings. The apocrypha are stories that are part of some Bibles but excluded from other Bibles. All paintings are “representational art”; that is, the subjects are clearly identifiable with minimal guessing as to who is being depicted. You’ll come face to face with great artwork that is hundreds of years old and you’ll understand your Bible like never before. As time permits and interest dictates, we can also view famous Greek myths, well-known historical events and works by familiar artists such as Van Gogh, Monet and Michelangelo. Please note that paintings move around the museum and are taken off display on a regular basis.
