For many deafblind visitors the<br />
opportunity to touch art is vital<br />
to understanding meaning and<br />
to learn about artists and their<br />
work. Tate Modern includes a<br />
number of artworks that the<br />
public can touch. The displays<br />
are very lively and change all<br />
the time, meaning there is<br />
always something new or<br />
different to experience.<br />
Tate Modern also uses tactile<br />
diagrams to help people<br />
understand paintings and<br />
drawings to ensure that you<br />
experience the full range of<br />
artworks on display, not just<br />
sculptures.<br />
Practical Advice<br />
for Visitors:<br />
Reserved parking is available<br />
for disabled visitors.<br />
Deafblind tours can be<br />
provided on request, but<br />
please give as much notice as<br />
you can. Tours usually last 90<br />
minutes and are free. Gallery<br />
stools and plenty of rests<br />
breaks are included!<br />
If you would like to make an<br />
independent visit without<br />
booking a tour, the<br />
Information Desk can give you<br />
a list of the artworks which<br />
you are welcome to touch<br />
even without a guide present.<br />
