Public Tour: Literature in Art

Join us for a free themed tour exploring artworks with literary connections.

Literature has a profound influence on visual art and vice versa. Throughout art history artists have reimagined and visualised literary scenes and characters, and writers have responded to works of art with various forms of storytelling. For this tour, we are looking at works from the collection that are intrinsically linked to literature.
