I attended the Beyond the Palette experience at the National Gallery and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was engaging, insightful and genuinely fun from start to finish.

Lynne has a wonderful way of bringing paintings to life. Her descriptions were vivid, thoughtful and accessible without ever feeling academic or heavy. She struck the perfect balance between art history and storytelling, which kept everyone fully engaged throughout the tour.

A truly enriching and enjoyable cultural evening. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the National Gallery in a more intimate and memorable way.

Fantastic Private Gallery Tour

Absolutely fantastic private tour at the National Gallery. Lynne brought so much heart, knowledge, and humour, the time flew by. Lynne is a great story teller and added real depth to the paintings without it ever feeling like a lecture, and even tailored the tour to a theme of my choosing. My brother messaged afterwards saying it was the best museum/gallery tour he’s ever experienced, and I felt the same. Highly recommend, I’d book again in a heartbeat.

Encore!

Well!! It did what it said on the tin! An engaging and insightful romp through 40,000 years of humanity expressing itself through art and hairstyling! And then just as we’re all drawing to a close with laughter and new found knowledge, Lynne pulls us back to the very essence of the human condition and art with a poignant pairing of a Banksy with the world’s first discovered cave markings. 40,000 years of spinning on this planet and all we’re trying to do is just to leave a little mark to say ‘I was here’. Beautifully done! Encore!

Lynne is awesome!

We hired Lynne for a private tour of the National Gallery with our visiting family, some of whom didn't have as much experience with art and galleries as we do. Lynne's breadth of knowledge, great sense of humor, and ability to sense what would land with our group made for an engaging experience for us all. She chose a well balanced set of works to focus on, including some even the experienced among us could learn from.Whether you're an art aficionado or someone who wants to make art museum tours more interesting, we can't recommend Lynne enough! We also recommend her live performances, one of which we were able to see prior to this tour.

Amazing…

I cant recommend Lynne@beyondthepalette more highly. Her tour at the National Gallery was highly engaging and genuinely fascinating. Lynne brought the paintings to life. She is a natural story teller, and has huge charisma and an absolutely wicked sense of humour. II left her tour more informed but also very entertained. Thank you Lynne!

Lynne is so knowledgeable and at the same time as bringing the stories of the paintings to life , she adds salacious tips about the artist or the characters involved . This makes for a lively tour full of laughter ! If you love art and getting the behind the scenes information then beyond the palette delivers on every level .

Another fun filled romp through the National Gallery.Lynne is a story teller par excellence.Fact filled and fascinating. She mixes sharing mythology or biblical stories with information about the patrons, artistic conventions of the period and life stories of the artists. All delivered with a large dose of humour!Lynne makes Art History and appreciation accessible to all. We did a tour to celebrate a friends birthday and it was the perfect way to start our party ! Highly recommended.
