UC Teece Museum Audio Description Tour


Thursday 20 August

Time

3.00PM – 4.00PM

Venue: Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities

Explore the University of Canterbury's Teece Museum on an Audio Description Tour.

Audio Description Tours are a new way to experience the ancient artefacts on display in the Teece Museum. Each one hour audio tour will give visitors the chance to look, listen, and feel, as they learn more about the ancient world. These tours are designed with the needs of blind and low-vision visitors in mind, but are open to anyone to attend.

Hosted by one of our curatorial team, each audio description tour will focus on a selection of three or four artefacts. Visitors will have the opportunity to hold a replica of each object and listen to the audio description for each, before hearing more about their history and significance from the curators.

The Teece Museum is best suited to smaller tour groups. The tours are FREE but tour numbers will be capped at 15 people to ensure everyone gets the most out of the experience.
