About

As part of our Bicentenary celebrations, Emily Stone, Contemporary Art Project Curator, invites you on this guided walking tour to explore the relationship between contemporary artists and the Gallery over the last two centuries.

Emily will speak about some of the fascinating works in the collection, such as Boris Anrep's mosaics, works by Pintoricchio and Crivelli, and, of course, Bridget Riley's huge wall painting in our Annenberg Court. 

The tour will conclude with an eye on the next 200 years sharing news about the upcoming Modern and Contemporary programme. 

Please note, this tour will move through the Gallery and will involve headsets. Please meet in Annenberg Court where headsets and folding stools will be available.
