About

Gallery Educator Dr Tilly Scantlebury leads an evening tour through our collection, exploring a range of portraiture, using a 'queer lens'. Through close looking and lively discussion, we celebrate the conclusion of LGBTQ+ History Month by revisiting these wonderful paintings, reflecting upon them through different perspectives.

This is a walking tour with a range of paintings explored across the gallery. Please meet in Central Hall.
