Allow Kim to help you get to know this one-of-a-kind piece in more detail as well as more about this important artist.

Our visitor services staff will be there to guide you to our accessible routes. We have push wheelchairs available for anyone who may require one and two battery-operated wheelchairs to aid those who need assistance. Please speak to reception if you are in need of a wheelchair and please be aware that they require a second user to operate. Some of our galleries are fitted with stair lifts.
