Art Museum Offers Multisensory Experience for the Visually Impaired


The Dallas Morning News says Southern Methodist University’s Meadows Museum is on the cutting edge of efforts to reach out to visually impaired patrons by offering multisensory experiences involving touch, sound and taste. Visitors can hold a pipe similar to the one in Diego Rivera’s Portrait of Ilya Ehrenberg or hear music from the time and place of a particular work. Scents are also used to evoke atmosphere.
