"Please don’t touch" warn the signs in all the museums around the world for all of the major art exhibits.
Is this true at all of them?
There are 5 museums worldwide where the exact opposite is true: The visually impaired and blind visitors,
at these Museums, are urged to touch.
In the building (which has been declared a landmark) of the Tactual Musuem on Doiranis Str., all architectural facilities for easy accessibility have been anticipated. It welcomes all people, young and old, who wish to experience Art in another dimension. In the rooms of the Museum one can sensitize themselves to the barriers faced by the blind.
