Class details
Join Nick Pearson in virtual ‘gallery tours’ of London’s permanent art collections, as well as selected, special exhibitions you might have missed. Of course, this can never substitute for the real thing, but you do get to view an exhibition from the comfort of your own home!
The price for the two-hour virtual tour and notes is £20 per person. If two of you join the tour and share a computer screen, the price is £30 for you both. You can pay Nick via bank transfer or cheque. He will send you the details.
