About
A guided National Portrait Gallery tour connects portraits and national history with music, song and symphony.
A small-group tour through the National Portrait Gallery links portraits and British history with music from Tudor and Restoration eras through the twentieth century. The route asks how music shaped the people in the portraits and ends with a changing selection of late-twentieth-century works. The operator limits the group to ten and says the tour is not suitable for children.
