Rembrandt
About
Of the many artists working in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century, Rembrandt van Rijn is one of the most celebrated and loved. We are lucky to house one of the most important collections of paintings by Rembrandt.
Join Alan Murray, British Sign Language (BSL) tour guide, to find out what these paintings tell us about the artist and the people close to him.
This session will be led by a Deaf lecturer in British Sign Language with interpretation in spoken English.
Your speaker
Alan Murray MBE, a Deaf BSL user, is a trainer and consultant with a deep, lifelong interest in arts, culture, history and heritage. This interest, coupled with his strong belief that the arts should be accessible for all, is what fuels Alan’s passion for delivering culturally rich guided tours and talks in BSL; breaking down barriers and opening up the arts to the Deaf BSL-using community across London.
