Audio described gallery tour at Wellcome Collection, London

Wellcome Collection, Gallery 2

Wellcome Collection offers a free audio described tour of its two current exhibitions, Audrey Amiss: The Surviving Exhibitions and Rudy Loewe: Intimacies of Care. A guide describes the key visual elements of each show and talks through highlights from both, which suits blind and partially sighted visitors and anyone who enjoys a spoken, detailed way of looking. The tour takes place in Gallery 2 on Wednesday 18 November from 15:30 to 16:30, during a Lights Up session in which the gallery has brighter, more even lighting. Groups are small, so a place must be booked in advance through the ticket link on the event page. The page advises arriving fifteen minutes early and mentions a waiting list for full sessions. A small guided tour is a gentle way to take part alone. «Lights Up and Audio Described Tours of the Audrey Amiss and Rudy Loewe Exhibitions» Starts 15:30, ends about 16:30.

Low-stim evening opening of two exhibitions, Wellcome Collection

Wellcome Collection, Gallery 2

Wellcome Collection runs a free low-stim evening session for its exhibitions Audrey Amiss: The Surviving Exhibitions and Rudy Loewe: Intimacies of Care, on Thursday 19 November from 18:00 to 20:00. A low-stim session is designed to reduce extra sensory stimulation. The page lists fewer people in the galleries, lower light levels and lower sound levels in the gallery and around the building, and it asks visitors to keep their phones on silent, speak quietly and avoid strong scents. The rest of the building is closed to other visitors, so a ticket must be booked through the event page. Booking does not guarantee a place, so the page advises arriving fifteen minutes early. Gallery 2 is on level 1, with stairs and a lift. It is a calm way to visit alone. «Low-stim Openings of the 'Audrey Amiss' and 'Rudy Loewe' exhibitions» Starts 18:00, ends about 20:00.
