The Best of "Courageous Women in History & Art" Cultural Tour
We're proud to partner with our friends at OutProfessionals and Oscar Wilde Tours for another exciting event!
Celebrate Women's History Month by discovering the outspoken, powerful, and sometimes scandalous women who transcended their times.
The world's museums don't notice, but their collections are full of the stories of women: powerful women, frightening women, sexy women, queens, mistresses, actresses, dancers, women artists, and more!
Join the always-engaging, Professor Andrew Lear, as he shares the highlights of his women's history and art museum tours. You'll meet women from halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, the Orsay, the National Portrait Galleries of London and Washington DC, and other museums--plus a few from historic homes and cemeteries.
You'll learn about the following women who transcended their times:
- The Virgin Queen, and why she stayed (or claimed) to stay that way
- The mistress who could chew the Sun King out
- Marie Antoinette's image maker
- The Biblical princess who fascinated the 19th-century
- The lesbian sculptor who commemorated her lover in Central Park's most famous statue
- The famous woman author who danced half-nude at the Moulin Rouge
- The salonnière who made the careers of Picasso and Hemingway
This talk shares the most popular topics and stories from Professor Lear’s extensive studies of art and history. At the end of the tour, you will leave having learned about exceptional women who impacted our world today.
