Tate Modern Multimedia Tour

 

BSL Tour

Alongside the Multimedia Tour we will be offering a tour for deaf visitors in British Sign Language. First piloted in November 2003, Tate Modern's BSL Tour was the first sign language guide of a museum collection, and reflects Tate's commitment to increasing visitors' access to our displays. The handheld computer plays video clips of interpreters signing a tour of highlights of the displays, as well as presenting visual interactive content such as games and opinion polls. The tour provides on-demand interpretation for deaf visitors in their preferred language, as an alternative to having to wait for a BSL-interpreted gallery talk.
