About
Be the first to experience old friends and new surprises in this guided walking tour of the newly reopened Sainsbury Wing.
This tour is a great way to get reacquainted with the collection that will now take pride of place in the Sainsbury Wing galleries.
Focusing on the earliest paintings in our collection, the tour will provide context as you travel through the history of art, which rather than telling a single story, introduces new narratives in unexpected, themed rooms that tell us about the making of art, particular types of painting and individual artists.
This is a guided walking tour through the galleries for which headsets will be provided. Please meet at the Information Desk in the Sainsbury Wing Foyer.
