This May, FRAMELESS, the UK’s largest immersive art experience, will open its latest
limited run residency, Stories – Brought to Life, featuring portraits from the National
Portrait Gallery’s Collection.

During the captivating 15-minute immersive experience, visitors will be transported into an
intimate world where the sitters’ stories vividly come alive.

Exploring the fascinating lives of some of the most iconic faces from the National Portrait
Gallery’s Collection, the stories of these cultural icons, past and present, unfold in an
unforgettable journey that fuses the best of art, technology and powerful human storytelling.

The limited-run residency in FRAMELESS’ Blank Canvas Gallery features Queen Elizabeth
II, Nelson Mandela, William Shakespeare, Amy Winehouse and Malala Yousafzai. Included
within the standard FRAMELESS entry ticket, the Experience invites visitors to step into
some of the stories that form part of the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection in a truly
immersive experience.

The FRAMELESS team has worked closely with the expert curators at the National Portrait
Gallery to tell the authentic, inspiring stories of some of its most loved sitters. The
experience brings together a rich tapestry of media, from archival content and photography
to excerpts from powerful speeches and original animation. The new experience celebrates the power of portraits to tell stories we can all connect with, offering an immediate and deeply human connection to the artworks through the emotions and experiences of real people. As part of FRAMELESS’ mission to create new ways of experiencing art, Stories – Brought to Life uses new technology to bring visitors closer to the action, encouraging wider engagement with art and culture.

The experience will open to the public on 21st May and run until 12th September at
FRAMELESS London and free access is included with all standard tickets to the
immersive art experience when Blank Canvas is open to the public. Visit frameless.com
