SENSORY TOUR: For Blind and Visually Impaired

Kunstinstituut Melly is open to everyone, regardless of class, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, limitations, disabilities, nationality, or educational background.

While most exhibitions are visually oriented and art experience is primarily through looking, our exhibitions strive to offer an experience that appeals to all the senses. They combine spatial design, diverse media and artworks to create an all-encompassing sensation. However, not everyone can enjoy art in this way, due to both visible and invisible limitations.

Our new Sensory Tours series is designed to meet this challenge. We focus on one sense at a time. During the exhibitions, art teachers with expertise in accessibility lead special tours for people with special needs.

The Sensory Tours have been specially developed for:

- People who are blind or visually impaired

- People who are deaf or hard of hearing

- For the elderly

- People with invisible disabilities, such as high sensitivity or who are easily overstimulated
