Show Notes

This chapter provides you with a description of the wayfinding tools that are part of the audio description tour. It is a minute long.

There will be audio cues within the audio description tour that will direct you through the gallery and to the various stops on the tour. 

Once you go down the stairs, there are also tactile floor markings that will help lead you on a one-way path clockwise around the gallery to the stops in front of the artworks. There are twelve stops on the tour. Stops will be marked with a circle composed of smaller felt circles. There are also tactile representations of several artworks, held in a tote bag provided at the front desk, that you can take with you on the tour. They are numbered and the audio description tour will notify you when there is one available at that stop. 

Please go down the stairs to the main floor. The stairs have railings and turn twice to the right. You will find the tactile path at the bottom. Turn left to go to the first artwork, in six metres. Stop at the felt circle and turn left.
