Rule.s

and regulations

No smoking. Food and drink may not be consumed in the galleries. Mobile phones may

not

be used in display areas. Photography is not permitted, except

in

the J-urbine Hall, where photographs may be taken without the use of flash or a tripod.

Visitors are reminded not

to

touch the aflworks. Touching or handling a surface with bare hands leaves a thin film of grease and salts that

in

time allow the accumulation of

dirt.

Repeated cleaning causes irreversible damage.

For the safety and security of visitors, staff and works of art, CCTV is in operation throughout the gallery. ln the event of any attack on staff or property the police will be asked to

Srr"oseeute.

Access

There is level access through an entrance next to the ramp on Level 2. Together with the North Entrance this is recommended for visitors using wheelchairs, prarnsând buggies.

Baby changing facilities are available on each level.

Group visits

All groups must book their visit in advance and groups wishing to lecture must have advance permission. To book visits please telephone Tate Ticketing on
