Sensory Tour Kit
Explore MK Gallery’s current exhibition, Euan Uglow: An Arc from the Eye, with our self-led Sensory Tour Kit designed by students from St Paul’s Catholic School VI (Vision Impairment) Department and artist Collar & Cuffs. The tour kit is designed specifically with visitors with access needs, children and families in mind, but is available for all to use and enjoy!
The Sensory Tour Kit is on a trolley. You can collect it from the front desk and wheel it around the exhibition with you at your own pace. In the trolley there are objects, smells and sounds to help you explore selected artworks in the exhibition in a sensory way. There is also a printed text guide with Widget symbols and an audio guide where you can listen to the voices of those involved in designing the kit.
The Sensory Tour Kit is free to use with any purchased exhibition ticket. We recommend booking through the website to secure your time with the trolley, but you are also welcome to simply collect it on your arrival, providing it is not already in use. You can also also take the sensory tour kit into the café, or our Creative Corner, if you would prefer to.
For groups and schools bookings, please contact Sophie on sbennett@mkgallery.org / 01908 558319.
