Join our tour with Catherine Crowston, AGA’s Executive Director and Chief Curator, through our current exhibition Seeing and Being Seen. This tour is for self-identified seniors and is free with admission. Capacity for the event is 30 so reserve your tickets early.
About Seeing and Being Seen: The female figure is an enduring subject for artists, endlessly fascinating and controversial. This exhibition explores the way women’s bodies have been represented in art as muses, mothers, lovers and friends, while countering stereotypes and thinking about the changing role of women in society. Recent acquisitions prompted further research on the representation of women in our collection, particularly how women artists choose to represent women. Featuring work by Frank Auerbach, Lucien Freud, Paula Rego and more.
About Seniors' Tour
Seniors’ Tours are offered monthly and organized by the AGA’s Aging Artfully Advisory Committee.
Accessibility notes: We have a whisper audio guide system with headsets available. These wearable transmitters allow visitors to listen to the tour guide without straining to hear or being distracted by ambient noise in the galleries. If you pause to contemplate an artwork longer, you won’t miss what the tour guide says next.
