Tate Modern Multimedia Tour


The Multimedia Tour is aimed at visitors who are looking for an accessible introduction to modern and contemporary art, and presumes no prior knowledge of art history. When the concept was first developed, we had visitors between the ages of 16 and 25 in mind, as confident users of new technology. However, since then, all kinds of people have tried out the tour, from families with younger children, to school groups, and individual adult visitors of all ages, and they have rated the content highly.

Alongside the Multimedia Tour we are offering a tour in British Sign Language for deaf people, using the same hand-held computers. It has never been done before, and means that for the first time deaf visitors can access on-demand information in their own language when they visit Tate Modern.

'I have learnt more today than I have done in years of visiting galleries.'

'A fantastic addition to the Tate Modern experience. I really liked the extra information, history and music.'

'The best part was the audio-visual which involved you with certain pieces so at times you felt like dancing or laughing - it evoked more emotion.'
