Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

Overview

The Tactile Tours offer blind and low-vision patrons the chance to touch and examine costumes, props and other items from QPAC Collections. These tours provide rich verbal descriptions that bring the visual details of each item to life – offering a unique, hands-on experience of QPAC’s history and the stories behind the objects.

These sessions are designed specifically for patrons who are blind or have low-vision. If you do not identify with this, we kindly ask that you do not book into these sessions to ensure access for those who need them.

Tactile Tours are part of the QPAC 40 Open Day. Find out more here.

What happens if I am late for my tour?

The tour will depart on time. If you arrive late, please report to Stage Door Concierge in the Pedestrian Tunnel, where staff will advise you how to join the tour.

What can I bring with me on the tour?

Where possible, limit the bags you bring with you as cloaking facilities are limited. For safety, we suggest you wear flat, enclosed shoes.
