Led by experienced Auslan guides, this tour of ACMI's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition is designed for visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Curated by Tate in the UK and drawn from their prestigious collection, 'Light: Works from Tate’s Collection' celebrates groundbreaking moments from over 200 years of art history, and the artists who harnessed this elemental force through painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, installation and the moving image.

Connected by their fascination with light as both material and subject, over 70 works feature in this exclusive blockbuster exhibition, including must-see historical paintings by iconic artists like the great Romantic painter J. M. W. Turner, John Constable, Wassily Kandinsky and Josef Albers, as well as Impressionist painters Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Alfred Sisley.

These extraordinary paintings are juxtaposed against equally groundbreaking works from modern and contemporary artists: Olafur Eliasson’s crystalline sculpture 'Stardust Particle' (2014), Yayoi Kusama’s kaleidoscopic 'The Passing Winter' (2005) and James Turrell’s immersive 'Raemar, Blue' (1969).

See art in a new light this winter and join us for a monumental exhibition you won’t forget.
