Blind and visually impaired visitors are invited to join us for a guided exploration of the Gallery’s Collection.

Led by specially trained guides, these talks offer rich, detailed visual descriptions that bring artworks vividly to life through words. Together, we’ll take time to look closely, share observations and explore the stories, colours and atmosphere within each piece in an inclusive and relaxed setting.

These sessions are designed specifically for blind and visually impaired visitors, creating a welcoming space to experience and discuss art in depth.

We will be talking about the following works:

30 April - Winter Scene by David Teniers the Younger

28 May - Saint Sebastian by Guido Reni

25 June - Triumph of David by Nicolas Poussin

30 July - Three Boys by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

20 August - Venus, Mars and Cupid by Sir Peter Paul Rubens

Please note sometimes artworks in our collection go on loan, or are restored. We cannot guarantee we will always be able to discuss the intended artwork as outlined above.
