About

Expert guide Emma Matthews leads a guided walking tour which connects our latest exhibition, 'Discover Constable & The Hay Wain', to the wider collection. 

The tour slots Constable's work into the wider landscape of the Georgian era. Visitors will see how Constable influenced countless British artists who followed in his footsteps.

Headsets will be provided for this tour.
