Audio Descriptions

We have started our audio description programme with visitor favourites by the Newlyn School artists and will add further descriptions as we continue.

The audio descriptions were written and are read by the staff and volunteers of Penlee House.

You can listen to each audio description via YouTube (which includes an image of the artwork being described) or as a MP3 audio download. Text transcripts for each description are also available.

You can also access the whole playlist directly on YouTube.
