Special Event

Art on the brain at The Hepworth Wakefield

31 May - 1 June 2024

Experience the impact of art on human brainwaves

For the first time ever, you can visualise the impact of art on your brainwaves as Art Fund are touring technology that brings this to life in real time and in 3-D.  

Join us and try on EEG headsets which capture your brain data while you look at the art and objects in our collection. You’ll see your brainwaves on a screen to show the impact of art on your brain.  

The headsets are adjustable and suitable for adults. Children are welcome to join and try the headsets too. 

This is a free drop-in event, included in your general admission ticket. 

Morning only on Friday 31 May 

All day (10am – 5pm) on Saturday 1 June
