About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

At Look Club, we'll be encountering artworks together by starting from scratch with no prior knowledge or historical context. There are no right or wrong answers, only opinions and perspectives. Enjoy this unique session to think deeply and share a space for listening.

Come along and meet new people, increase your own sense of confidence and take time to be culturally curious!

Join us in the Hunterian Art Gallery and experience art in a way you haven't before. No prior knowledge of art is necessary! Sessions take place at 12pm on the first Wednesday of each month.


Look out for extra tour dates including Saturday 8 March for International Women's Day, where we'll be looking at works by women and works with women sitters.

A specific approach to looking at art, known as Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), was co developed by Abigail Housen, Harvard Cognitive Psychologist, and Philip Yenawine, Director of Education at MOMA between the years of 1988-199. This method is initiated by facilitated discussions of art images and jumpstarts a process of learning to think deeply. It enhances and encourages thinking skills, provides oral and written language literacy, visual literacy, and collaborative interactions among peers.


Organized by

At the heart of the University of Glasgow since 1807, The Hunterian connects people with stories, individuals and ideas found in stunning collections of objects, belongings and artworks.

Today The Hunterian is a space for questioning and experimentation, for enjoyment and enrichment, for connection and collaboration and for reflecting on the role museums and individuals can play in furthering equity, justice and diversity in our society. 

We actively work to make The Hunterian a more relevant and meaningful place – for University students and staff, for Glaswegians, for Scots and for our global visitors.
