Visitor sketching in the Sculpture Gallery
Find out about colour in the British Galleries with our Colour Trail or unlock your creativity by borrowing one of our writing and drawing Kits, containing all you need to start.
Colour Trail
Does Ultramarine blue paint really come from Afghan stones? Is cochineal really made from ground up beetles? Explore the British Galleries and discover the hidden depths of the best bed hangings, painted and patterned cloth, blue stockings and green jugs.
