About

Expert guide Martin Brown leads a guided walking tour, connecting our latest exhibition 'Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look' to the wider collection. 

Echoing David Hockney's words, who claims himself to have always been a looker, this guided walking tour looks at the paintings from the Gallery, that inspired Hockney on his visits. 

This tour will explore the Gallery using headsets. 

After the tour, visit 'Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look', our free exhibition bringing together two Hockney paintings, one showing his mother and father, and the other depicting his friend, curator Henry Geldzahler. They’ll be displayed with the thread that ties them together, Piero della Francesca’s ‘The Baptism of Christ’.
