Upcoming: Access Tours of Seattle Art Museum





The next ACCESS tour of the Seattle Art Museum for visitors with low or no vision is on Wednesday, October 28th at 11:00 am at the Seattle Art Museum located at 1300 First Ave., Seattle 98101. We will gather in the Forum area of the museum, near the admissions desk. The tour will last approximately 1.5 hours. The October 28th tour will include visual descriptions of objects on exhibition in the Intimate Impressionism from the National Gallery.
 
ACCESS tours are open to anyone who might benefit from a visual description based tour. ACCESS tours are free of charge, but advance registration is required. Spots are limited, so reservations operate on a first come, first served basis.  To register for a tour, email access@seattleartmuseum.org or call Lynda Swenson at (206) 654-3123. Attendees are welcome to bring a companion on the ACCESS tour. Please let us know when you register if you will be bringing a companion.
