About

Join art world communications specialist, Marcus Howard-Vyse, for a tour themed around the question: 'How does a national collection reflect or serve the nation?'. 

Marcus will highlight a selection of works that have entered the collection in interesting ways, linking them together to discuss what constitutes a collection. The tour will delve into how and why these works represent the nation, who they were originally created for and why they remain relevant today.

This is a walking tour throughout the Gallery and headsets will be provided.
