Why Our Virtual Tours Are Excellent

 We take pride in creating experiences that deliver high resolution photographs of artwork that is exacting in colors, hues, and saturations. We only accept images that match the original artwork that you will find hanging on the wall in the museum. By researching the history, art history, and cultural facts our guides weave stories that will both captivate and enhance the artwork.

 About Margo George

Margo George Photo


Margo received her undergraduate degree in Art History from Youngstown State University with a minor in British and American Literature. Her senior thesis focused on the marriage of art and literature through the re-imaginings of medieval ramparts on World War I aircraft as a means of recapturing and modernizing the gallant hero on the battlefield. 

 She served as Assistant to the Director at the Medici Museum of Art in Howland, Ohio where she assisted in the organization and preparation of the BSA’s private collection of Boy Scout Art by Norman Rockwell and his protege, Joseph Csatari. 

 During Covid, Margo received her certificate from Sotheby’s Institute of Art on Art Crime and Law detailing how art is stolen, retrieved and the fantastical ways in which thieves implement their tricks. 

 Margo uses her quick wit to provide customers with lively and engaging tours, and she can’t wait to be your next tour guide!
