Tate Britain 10 minute talks

Learn more about art in Tate's collection with daily 10 minute talks

Every day at Tate Britain we have a selection of ten minute talks delivered by staff and volunteers.

Each talk explores one artwork in the gallery for around 10 minutes. Visitors could learn more about the artists’ creative process and the inspiration behind their work.

Ten minute talks are an opportunity for visitors to listen to Tate staff bringing their favourite artworks to life; sharing their personal feelings and relationship with different pieces in the collection.

For a short period each day, the talks encourage visitors to pause, reflect and enjoy ‘slow looking’ – spending time with an artwork to really get to know it.

Tate Britain's step-free entrance is on Atterbury Street. It has automatic sliding doors and there is a ramp down to the entrance with central handrails.

The Exhibition is on the Lower floor of the gallery.

  • Accessible, standard and Changing Places toilets are located on the Lower floor.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the ticket desk on the Lower floor.

To help plan your visit to Tate Britain, have a look at our visual story. It includes photographs and information about what you can expect from a visit to the gallery.
