Thematic Art Tours to Europe & Around the World
Thematic art tours can bring great meaning to works studied in the classroom when they are viewed in person. Seeing great masterpieces up close is certain to broaden your student’s appreciation of art. We specialize in custom designing thematic art tours and thematic art days on tour. We also have thematic art tour itineraries for you to choose from, or that can serve as a starting point in customizing the ideal program for your students.
Exploring the Major Periods in Western Art
Whether designing a thematic group tour or a thematic touring day, we can assist you in putting together an itinerary that focuses on the periods and artists you teach in the classroom. Casterbridge’s art tours focus goes beyond the major galleries to take you to smaller attractions, as well as places that were important to, or inspired, the great works.
If we are focusing on a specific artist from a specific period, we will focus on the life of that artist, the influences and inspirations of the artist, and the significance of his or her work in art history. Thematic days around a specific artist or group of artists can be extremely rewarding and inspiring to your students.
We can provide thematic tours or days around any period in Western art. We have a number of sample thematic art tours for you to choose from which we have categorized as: Ancient Art Treasures, Renaissance and Baroque Periods, Rococo to Impressionism, and Modern and Contemporary.
Local Specialist Guides to Take You Through the Great Galleries
Casterbridge takes great pride in including local specialist guides to lead your group through the great galleries and museums. These museums are often huge and can be both intimidating and overwhelming. This is not the case when you are led by a local guide. Our local guides can provide art tours that either feature a brief sampling of the most important pieces in a collection or focus on a specific period or group of artists.
In addition to receiving a more in-depth and focused tour, getting into the gallery or museum quickly is an important factor. We strive to pre-book as many sites as possible for each group in order to spend quality time viewing and learning, not standing in line. Our local guides are often well-known and make the process of getting a group into an attraction easier than for the individual tourist.
Thematic Art Tours Around the World
Art tours around periods of Western art are most commonly requested. However, that does not exclude you from designing thematic art tours around any period or style from around the world. For example, you can focus on Asian Art and Sculpture, Aboriginal Art in Australia, The Great Treasures from Ancient Egyptian Civilization, Arts and Crafts from India, or American Art.
One of our most requested options includes the great 20th century masters of Mexico, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. We have a wonderful thematic itinerary that focuses on the lives, works, and legacies of these great artists, as well as, several other influential muralists of the era.
Whatever your focus, Casterbridge can provide art tours to meet your specific needs.
We Also Custom-design Thematic Architecture Tours for Groups
Thematic architecture tours are another specialty of Casterbridge Tours. We can provide thematic tours or thematic days around any area of architectural history, from ancient civilizations to modern buildings. We will be pleased to assist you in custom-designing an itinerary to meet your specific needs and provide local guides to focus on your themes. We have a wealth of resources and our Tour Coordinators can assist you in designing a truly academic and thematic touring program.
