Baby Sensory Workshop: Reflecting Faces

Explore the collection with your baby through sensory play.

Inspired by the AIB Portrait Prize and AIB Young Portrait Prize, Mags Harnett will lead a sensory workshop exploring a baby's reflection using mirrors and other shiny surfaces. What do they see? Is it themselves? When will they recognise 'me'? We will also take a short visit to the Portrait Gallery together.  

These workshops are for babies and their grown-ups, and are repeated at 12pm and 2pm to suit your routine. They are a fun and relaxing way for your babies to socialise and to explore new colours, textures and sounds as well as getting comfortable in the National Gallery! 

Tickets are available to book online from the Tuesday before each workshop.

Please note: Our baby workshops are very popular and book out quickly. If you miss out, why not drop into one of our weekly family workshops instead? These free, fun-filled workshops take place every Sunday from 11.30am to 1.30pm. No booking required - all welcome!
