A special opportunity for visually impaired and blind visitors to engage with selected artworks from the Tate collection displays

Touch Tours are delivered by two Visitor Engagement Assistant Touch Tour Guides. They include around three artworks from the collection displays, a combination of audio description, touching artworks and handling objects. Throughout the tour there is a focus on having a conversation about the art.

Our weekly bookable Touch Tours are designed for one visually impaired visitor and one sighted carer or companion. Advance booking is essential, please call us on +44 (0) 20 7887 8888 to book your tour.

All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. You can enter via the Turbine Hall and into the Natalie Bell Building on Holland Street, or into the Blavatnik Building on Sumner street.

There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Natalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses.
  • A quiet room is available to use in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the Ticket desks.

To help plan your visit to Tate Modern, have a look at our visual story. It includes photographs and information about what you can expect from a visit to the gallery.
