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.
