James Abbott McNeill Whistler Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1 1871 Musée d’Orsay, Paris, France

Blind and partially sighted visitors are invited to join Audio Describer Harry Baxter for a tour of James McNeill Whistler

This retrospective – the first major European exhibition of Whistler’s work in 30 years – brings together the artist’s world-famous paintings alongside rarely, or never seen, works. It includes exquisite portraits, drawings, prints, and designs, from as early as his teens in St. Petersburg to the enigmatic late self-portraits.

This tour is designed for blind and partially sighted visitors and their companions.
