Spencer Selections (with audio descriptions)
November 29, 2017–May 24, 2018
mobile app tour

This tour will introduce you to the various permanent exhibitions on the 4th floor. At each stop, this tour offers some context and connections for each work of art, a question or two to spark your thoughts or conversation (please note: there are no right answers!), and multimedia resources to help you dive deeper into the artworks. Each object is also accompanied by audio recordings and transcripts of a visual description and any text found in the galleries or in the app for visitors who are blind or have low vision or others who may prefer to listen rather than read. This tour should take approximately one hour, but you may choose to linger with or skip over some works to fit your available time. This tour starts with the exhibition The Object Speaks at the top of the stairs, or, if you take the elevator, it is just around the corner to the right.
