"By engaging senses other than sight, Beyond the Visual invites play, contemplation, reminiscence and debate. It’s both simple and complex."

'A groundbreaking exhibition turns the way we think about sculpture on its head. Every object has its own audio description and is there to be touched, completely accessible to all, sighted or blind.'

What does a sculpture sound like?
How does it feel?
Does it smell?

Beyond the Visual opens @HMILeeds on 28 November 2025. For this groundbreaking exhibition blind and partially blind artists from around the world encourage you to encounter sculpture in a whole new way.

Our @LeedsCityMuseum campus students have been working on sensory tools to help visitors visually engage with their collections.

This week they went into the @HMILeeds Henry Moore Institute to investigate their explorer bags. The students relished the opportunity to navigate the art works in the gallery using the tools in the bags.
