Braille plates (National Museum in Krakow)

The Braille plates were created as part of the project implemented by the National Museum in Krakow, «See the invisible» (“Zobaczyć niewidzialne”). Its aim is to enable blind people to visit museum galleries on their own. The plates explain the specifics of selected collections. In addition, blind people can touch selected sculptures and specially made copies of some masterpieces.

The Museum continues to expand its offerings for the visually impaired, such as art workshops led by specialists using materials that are convenient for the visually impaired (for example, creating a collage from tactilely different materials). The museum also provides copies of works of artistic craftsmanship and teaching aids that help blind people smell of paint, the weight or delicacy of exhibits.

The example given proves that one proposed tool for people with disabilities triggers ideas for creating new and attractive facilities.
