Royal Collection Trust: Online Zoom Audio Described Tours
Season 1, Episode 1166, Mar 17, 2022, 09:00 AM
The Royal Collection Trust looks after the public opening of the Official Residences of The Queen and also cares for the Royal Collection too.
When the Covid pandemic hit and many museums, galleries and heritage sites were forced to close their doors to the public the Royal Collection Trust took their regular audio described tours online with descriptive Zoom talks for blind and partially sighted people and they are continuing to do so as the Covid restrictions start to ease.
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Amy Stocker, Access Manager from the Royal Collection Trust to find out more about the RCT and their online audio described tours for blind and partially sighted people
Amy also gave Toby a flavour of what is coming up in the next few online Zoom audio described tours including a descriptive tour of one of the most famous works of art from the collection which normally hangs in the picture gallery of Buckingham Palace.
The online Audio described tours happen on the first Tuesday of the month from 2pm via Zoom.
