If you are visiting our gallery, make sure you pick up one of our Family Explorer Activities to help you and the family explore the galleries together.

There are a variety of activities to suit a range of ages and abilities, addressing key themes of the work in the exhibitions.

You will find our Family Resource stand in front of our reception desk, next to our accessible gallery and exhibition resources.

Go and have fun, explore our galleries!
