What you’ll do

Join a BSL-interpreted tour of the ‘Thirst: In Search of Freshwater’ exhibition. A member of our Visitor Experience & Engagement team will guide you around the exhibition, exploring its themes and offering their personal perspective on artworks and objects.

Throughout the tour, you’re invited to ask questions and share your own responses to the exhibition. A BSL interpreter will translate for the guide and in group conversations.
