Audio Description: Meet 500 years of British art

17 March 2014 at 11.00–12.30

Free for Members

Four teenagers sit on a green park bench amid dozens of painted cuttings: badges, royal photographs, framed pictures and magazine covers including 'LIFE'; one boy holds a magazine over his face and a girl stands on a table behind.

Peter Blake, On the Balcony 1955–7. Tate. © Peter Blake 2026. All rights reserved, DACS.

Blind and partially sighted visitors are invited to join us for an audio description talk in the contemporary galleries at Tate Britain.

The talk will take place seated in the gallery with trained picture describers giving a detailed and fascinating description of the works. Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome.
