Helios and Seeing the Sun: BSL Tour

Created by The Exchange, University of Birmingham

The Exchange presents a special BSL-friendly tour around our 2026 installation and exhibition.

Guide Olivier Jamin leads a BSL tour taking in Luke Jerramโ€™s Helios sculpture and solar research at the University of Birmingham.

Designed for D/deaf BSL users and anyone who prefers to use British Sign Language.ย  This tour will be delivered in BSL. There will be English voice-over translation for hearing visitors and The Exchange can also provide Hearing Loops for those who need them. The tour is fully step-free, and seating is available throughout.
