Visualising Portraits at the National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery offers free Visualising Portraits picture descriptions for Blind and Partially Sighted Visitors on the last Thursday of each month from 2 to 3.30 pm.
Each session takes place in the gallery, seated in front of the painting whilst experienced artists and describers give a detailed verbal description of a particular work from the collection. Each month we focus on a different portrait, from the famous to the infamous! The sessions are free. For more information and to book a place please contact 020 7306 0055 or e-mail outreach@npg.org.uk.
