The Guestbook

Every visitor signs the guestbook. We use it to send the Institute's quarterly letter — discoveries, new arrivals, the unseen photographs of Kiki that surface week by week. No marketing. Just the work.

Begin the Guided Tour

Eighteen chapters, end-to-end — every wing of the Institut with Bernard's narration, in the order they were meant to be seen.

About the Institute

Napa Valley Art Institute is a private digital gallery built on the grounds of Chateau Magdalena in St. Helena, California. We represent twenty-five master works under exclusive contract from a Prague gallery that handles authentication. Two principals. A small AI workforce. A long view.

Founders: Sean Gilmore · Richard
