Slow Looking Audio Guides for Reading the Room: Domestic Interiors in Art

Welcome to our slow looking audio guides.

These three audio guides focus on one painting each from the Reading the Room: Domestic Interiors in Art exhibition.

Begin with the introduction to set the tone and relax, ready to enjoy spending a little longer with the artworks in these guides. The individual artwork audio guides are just under 6 minutes long each. Stay for as long as you’d like.

Designed to lead your gaze across the artworks, from left to right or top to bottom, these guides describe different aspects of the paintings and pose brief questions to aid in spotting creative details that a quick look might have missed.

When you’re finished, the slow looking outro guide can wrap your experience up with a few additional insights. Let us know what you think!
