90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
Sabry gives an entertaining and informative introduction to the Stedelijk Museum and its stellar collection of Modern Art. Learn how the Museum came to have such an amazing collection and hear some wonderful anecdotes about some of the artists whose work is represented there. I always enjoy Sabry's lectures but for me, this is one of his best. Truly a delightful 90 minutes!
Probably the best presentation of this type I’ve seen. I’ll definitely look forward to more. Thank you!
As always Sabry Amroyssi offers a fresh perspective on the museums and art which he is covering. His seminars and courses are delightful and educational.
Sandy Amroussi provided a wonderful, very entertaining virtual tour of the museum. He provided historical context for the museum itself as well as for the exhibits he covered. Very well done! I will definitely visit this museum the next time I am in Amsterdam.
Enthusiastic teacher with good overview of the building itself viewing past and present views and then zeroing in on specific paintings and aerial shots of the displays.
