There, he met a group of young painters with whom he started to develop a new, and one of the first modern art styles – the Impressionism.

Rijksmuseum with kids: One hour long self guided tour with a toddler

While I was still an Art History student, I’ve dreamed how one day I’ll be visiting museums with my kid. How he or she will be that enlightened kid that will understand art.

That’s why I’ve created this one-hour long…
