From the comfort of your own home, you will visit the most famous museums around the world such as the Louvre, the Rijksmuseum, the Hermitage and the Metropolitan Museum as well as some smaller, lesser-known gems. We will examine the history of these fabled institutions and look at some of the highlights of their collections, perhaps discovering some hidden treasures along the way.

Lee Rubinstein holds dual degrees in English and History with a minor in Art History from the California State University system. After years of working in the finance industry, getting her MBA, and spending time in the non-profit sector, she was lucky enough to get back to her first love—art. She has been a docent at the Getty Museum since 2012 giving in-person gallery tours to thousands of students. Additionally, during the pandemic, Lee gave over 300 virtual tours to museums around the country and even offered presentations to museums in Australia, England, New Zealand and Israel. She has shared her knowledge and love of art speaking at national docent conferences in Kansas City and Brisbane, Australia.

Closer to home, Lee created and runs a year-long, all-volunteer art program for the fourth grade in a Title I school. She has been doing this for over 15 years and believes very strongly that art is a critical part of any child's education.

A love of research has led her to create programs for lifelong learners all across the United States.

The Fifty and Better (FAB) program was designed for people 50+ years of age, seeking intellectual stimulation through university level courses (without the pressure of grades) for the sake of learning and social engagement.

This course can be attended online via Zoom.
