About these events

Join us for thirty-minute introductory tours to Phantasmagoria: Folkloric Sculpture for the Digital Age, led by our friendly Information Assistants.

This major group exhibition brings together a new generation of artists exploring how digital technologies are reshaping what sculpture can be, and how it can be used to tell stories about our past, present, and future.

Our staff have Sighted Guide Training, and can help you to navigate the exhibition.

When and where

The tours take place every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday while the exhibition is open.

There are two tours on each of these days. The morning tour starts at 11:00, and the afternoon tour starts at 14:30. Each tour lasts around thirty minutes.

Tours are free and there’s no need to book, just drop in and join our tour guide at the welcome desk.
