Join us for a series of descriptive talks and object handling exploring key objects from the Museum’s collection. These free events are for blind and partially-sighted visitors and their companions. Tea and biscuits provided.

This month we explore an intricate model of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, made in the late 1600s as an expensive souvenir for a wealthy visitor to the Holy Land. One of only 30 such examples to survive, the model comes apart, revealing the architectural details of the building. The session includes the opportunity to handle a similar model in the collection. Our guides have all been trained by VocalEyes.

This is a free ticketed event and takes place in the Museum Galleries which have step-free access throughout. For more information on getting to the Museum and our facilities please visit the Access Page on our website or call us on 020 7324 4005. Lines are monitored Wednesday – Saturday 10am – 5pm. Alternatively, you can email us on museum@sja.org.uk.

Numbers are limited to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to handle the objects.
