About

Join us for a free descriptive gallery tour exploring art through audio-description and conversation, followed by a practical workshop for visually impaired visitors. In this session we will explore prizewinning photographic portraits. Capturing and sharing emotional, dramatic, or everyday moments in life is the magic of the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize. A truly global affair, the prize celebrates the very best in contemporary photography, drawing on over 4,000 entries from 62 countries.

To book a free place, please use online booking or contact us on 0131 624 6410 or [email protected].
