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:

• Join a live audio-described tour of the exhibition led by Emma Bedford. Enjoy detailed audio descriptions of incredible animal behaviours and breathtaking landscapes.

• Feel the tactile, three-dimensional 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.

• 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. Portable seating will be available for your comfort.

This event is suitable for teachers, SLSOs and other education professionals who work with students who are Blind or have low vision in the classroom.
