For teachers wishing to bring pupils to see the SQA Advanced Higher Exhibition, please read the information below carefully:
Booking
Booking requests will be taken by email only to sqabookings@nationalgalleries.org. Time slots will be allocated in the order that requests are received and confirmation will be sent within 2 weeks of application with full details. Please book early to avoid disappointment. Numbers visiting will be controlled both to ensure an enjoyable visit and to adhere to safety regulations.
You can book either a visit to the SQA exhibition only OR a visit to the SQA exhibition and a free 1 hour guided tour of the National Gallery Scotland. The tour will focus on artists techniques and critical responses to art encouraging discussion and debate.
Please note that the visit/tour can be booked in any order. As scheduling is very complex and our guides are employed on a freelance basis, we would appreciate it if bookings, once made, were honoured.
