Explore a decade of tremendous change in society and art
The 1960s was a boom time, the energy and optimism of the decade is clearly reflected in the art on display in this room. New subjects were being painted by figurative artists, and there were exciting new approaches to abstraction. Join this audio description tour of the new display at Tate Britain to uncover unexpected relationships and conversations between the key works of the 1960s.
This tour is led by Annie Bedford and takes place seated in the gallery. Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome.
Please meet in the Manton Studio from 10.30 for tea and cake
