Learning about and experiencing art is at the heart of the school programme. Working alongside artists and art historians in the gallery space is a wonderful way to encourage pupils and teachers to think creatively and independently.
Our guided visits usually focus on four or five artworks enabling visitors to explore the work fully through investigation, gallery-based activities and lively discussion.
Guided tours of the permanent art collections and paying exhibitions are FREE but must be booked with a minimum of one month’s notice. All tours are designed for a whole class.
Time slots available for the guided visits are 10-11am, 11.15-12.15pm, 12.30-1.30, and 2-3pm.
To book your visit, please contact the Education Administrator (see Contact Information on this page). Please have the following information available when you book your visit:
- A list of dates for your visit
- Name of teacher or group leader
- Your institution’s full address and telephone number
- The age and size of your group
- Details of any pupils with special needs
