Each of our private museum tours and art classes for kids in Florence, Italy, is designed to engage kids with the art and culture of Italy, in a wholly unique way. We inspire your kids to look for deeper meaning and make connections to their own lives through our self-guided critical inquiry methodology. We allow students to use their own internal compass for exploring the city in a tactile and hands-on way. We find this type of experience provides students with a greater depth of understanding and appreciation for the city’s historic legacy in art and architecture.
