About this Event

Experience Apsley House through the eyes of a practising artist.

Join Michele Franklin for an intimate, conversation-led art tour of Apsley House, where she’ll guide a small group through some of her favourite works and share how artists really look at art - from technique and composition to emotion and storytelling.

This is a relaxed, informal experience for curious art lovers who want to go deeper, ask questions, and gain insight you won’t get from a traditional museum tour.

The tour is free to attend. Guests simply need to purchase an Apsley House entry ticket on arrival. Discover art in a whole new way!


Saturday 17 January | 2.00–3.30pm
Small group | Relaxed | Insightful | Fun

This is not a traditional museum tour or lecture. It’s a conversation-led experience, designed for curious art lovers who want to go deeper, ask questions, and gain insight into how artists think, see, and learn from other artists.


✨ What makes this a special opportunity
  • A small, carefully limited group for an intimate experience
  • Guided by a working artist, not a formal guide
  • Honest insights into technique, creative decisions, and artistic process
  • Learn how artists analyse composition, mood, and narrative
  • Plenty of time for questions and discussion
  • Friendly, relaxed, and welcoming — no art-world jargon required

Michele will share her personal responses to selected works, offering a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on how artists engage with historic collections — the kind of insight you won’t find on a wall label.


🎟 Important entry information
  • This guided tour with Michele is free to attend.
  • To access Apsley House, all attendees must purchase an entrance ticket on arrival.
  • Entry tickets are paid directly to Apsley House and are not included with this Eventbrite booking.

👥 Who this is for
  • Art lovers who want to understand art more deeply
  • Curious minds interested in artists, techniques, and creative process
  • Anyone who enjoys thoughtful conversation in beautiful surroundings
  • Those who prefer intimate cultural experiences over large group tours

Places are limited to keep the experience personal and engaging.
