From COVID to canvas A virtual tour by Verushka Darling | #TogetherInArt Live

A night at the museum to be remembered forever!

On Wednesday 20 May 2020, legendary drag queen and culture connoisseur Verushka Darling sashayed through the Art Gallery of New South Wales (temporarily closed due to COVID-19) to lead a tour for these times – socially distant, but close to your arts. Following on from her wildly popular Queer Art After Hours tours of the previous four years, Sydney’s Verushka brought a new, quarantastic perspective to works in the Grand Courts and modern Australian galleries for nearly 9000 viewers.

By popular demand an encore screening was held on Wednesday 26 May with an additional 8000 views of her wicked social satire providing some much needed comic relief from the pandemic. Above is a teaser from the full 20-minute tour.
