12.30 Talks
12.30 Talks are short personal responses to our current exhibitions given by our knowledgeable team of gallery assistants. They last 15-20 minutes and vary in topic from day to day. Some gallery assistants offer brief introductions to the exhibition, others talk with passion on a favourite artwork, artist or theme.
They will take place at 12.30pm every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday throughout our current exhibitions, starting on Tue 16 June
