Thank you @hmileeds.bsky.social team for the activity baskets!
"By engaging senses other than sight, Beyond the Visual invites play, contemplation, reminiscence and debate. It’s both simple and complex."

What does a sculpture sound like?
How does it feel?
Does it smell?
Beyond the Visual opens at Henry Moore Institute, Leeds on 28 November 2025. For this groundbreaking exhibition blind and partially blind artists from around the world encourage you to encounter sculpture in a whole new way.
The exhibition is the culmination of a three-year research collaboration between Henry Moore Institute, @unioftheartslondon.bsky.social & Shape Arts, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)'s Exhibition Fund, a major grant supporting innovative, collaborative exhibition approaches.
Happy birthday to us! It’s our thirty-third anniversary today 🎉
Since opening in 1993, we've been an ambitious space for researching, discovering & celebrating sculpture. Sending a big thank you to all who've been a part of our journey over the last three-&-a-bit decades.
