Explore our forthcoming exhibition ‘Myth and Reality: Military Art in the Age of Queen Victoria’ through a sensory tour guided by our Community Engagement Team.

About the event

Experience the world of Victorian art through a combination of vivid descriptions and tactile experiences, along with sounds and smells that bring to life the stories of the Museum’s collections.

This is an opportunity to explore the exhibition primarily through touch and description. We welcome those who would particularly benefit from this approach, such as visitors who are blind, partially sighted or who have complex support needs.
