An exhibition for one

Make the visit modest

Check opening hours and entry arrangements on the venue’s own page. Choose one exhibition or one floor, with enough time to arrive without rushing. A small visit fits a normal day and leaves you interested in coming back.

Choose three things to examine

Spend longer with a few works rather than feeling obliged to see every room. First look without the label, then read it, then look again. Notice which part of your first impression changes when you learn the context.

Let the visit continue outside

On the way home, describe one work in your own words. You can sketch its shape or remember the colour relationship without photographing it. Follow the venue’s rules and leave other visitors room to have their own quiet encounter.
