About
Hidden in plain sight, discover a medley of creatures within the collection. Maurizio Patti will guide you on a walking tour discovering animals and the part they play in our paintings. Look out for hundreds of dogs and over 70 horses, spot elephants, lions and peacocks, then keep your eyes peeled for creatures from the mythological world of dragons and mermaids.
This is a walking tour through the Gallery. Headsets will be provided for this tour.
