About Hold to This Earth Introduction Tour

Join a member of our welcoming Visitor Experience Team on a walk through the Peter Murray Gallery to learn more about the fascinating Hold to This Earth exhibition. 

This informal tour will explore the themes and cultural influences of the exhibition through a deep dive into selected artworks, and introduce you to the materials and techniques used by the contemporary Indigenous North American artists who created them.  

This tour is designed for those with some knowledge of art and sculpture who are keen to learn more.

Please meet at the entrance to the Peter Murray Gallery. Tours will begin promptly at 14.00 so please allow time to reach the venue. Due to the safety and the comfort of visitors tour numbers may need to be limited. 

Tours are free but donations to support our work are welcomed.
