In this Exhibition
This tactile art exhibition brings together the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Vermeer, Vincent van Gogh and other influential artists to explore the history and evolution of seven major art movements. Presented in chronological order, the exhibition highlights The Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Art Nouveau and Expressionism through craftsmanship, subject matter and artistic style.
Unlike a traditional museum setting, this accessible art exhibition invites visitors to experience art through touch and sound. Guests are encouraged to gently explore raised surfaces, shapes and textures using both hands while listening to audio descriptions through provided headphones. Touch-activated sensors are embedded throughout each piece to offer additional insight into the artwork.
Presented by Tactile Images in collaboration with the National Federation of the Blind, this interactive museum experience removes barriers for blind and low-vision visitors in a predominantly sighted world. By combining tactile printing, braille text and audio narration, the exhibition creates a multisensory way to engage with art history.
