Wildlife Photographer of the Year – Teacher Event

Teachers of students who are Blind or have low vision are invited to explore the 60th Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. This event allows teachers to explore the exhibition and scope the opportunity for bringing their students to the museum.

At this exclusive event for teachers, you will have the chance to:

• Explore the photography exhibition at your own pace. This exhibition showcases mesmerising animal behaviour and breathtaking landscapes.
• Feel the tactile, 3dimensional images on the wall and listen to the audio described images. You can Scan the QR codes on the floor in each location to listen.
• Join a guided tour of the exhibition. This exhibition not only showcases stunning imagery, but it also shares an important message around conservation, biodiversity and the future of our planet.
• Enjoy complimentary refreshments while networking with other education professionals. Register now, as places are limited.

We recommend that visitors who are Blind or have low vision bring a friend along to help with wayfinding in the low light conditions in the galleries. Bringing earphones so you can enjoy the audio descriptions is also recommended.
