Introduction
Tate Modern's Bafta-award winning Multimedia Guide is a unique way for visitors
to find out more about the art on display. Holding a small computer as you walk
through the galleries, you can see videos and still images that provide additional
context for the art, take part in interactive games, listen to commentaries,
and play art-related music. Tate was the first museum in the UK to trial such
a system, back in 2002, and now becomes the first to introduce it as a fully-fledged
tour.
Highlights of the Multimedia Guide:
- Interviews with artists such as Joseph Beuys, Richard Hamilton, Louise Bourgeois
and Fiona Rae.
- Video footage of artists at work.
- Interactive games, such as 'Exquisite Bodies', which was invented by the Surrealists,
and a quiz on Andy Warhol's famous aphorisms.
- A tour that's been specially designed for children.
The Guide covers all floors of the Collection displays and includes content on more than 50 artworks on display.
