American sculptor Alexander Calder was a radical figure who pioneered kinetic sculpture, bringing movement to static objects. This exhibition brings together major works from museums around the world, as well as showcasing his collaborative projects in the fields of film, theatre, music and dance.

In this BSL tour discover how Calder’s dynamic works brought to life the avant-garde’s fascination with movement, and brought sculpture into the fourth dimension.

This tour is delivered in BSL by guide Chisato Minamimura.
