How does it work?

Virtual Excursions are 60-minute learning programs where your group has access to a Gallery Learning Facilitator via videoconferencing.

You can connect with your:

• videoconferencing system – e.g. Polycom, Tandberg or similar;
• classroom PC or Mac with connected webcam and microphone;
• mobile device(s) – e.g. iPads, Android tablets.

Once you’ve made a booking, the Gallery will email you more information with instructions on how to connect.
