Verbal Description and Sensory Tour
For visitors who are blind or partially sighted
Monday, January 13, 2020
11:30 AM–1:00 PM
The Rubin Museum offers free verbal description and sensory tours for visitors who are blind or partially sighted. Held on the second Monday of each month, these tours take visitors on a journey that weaves together the culture, history, religion, and art of the Himalayas.
Museum guides are specially trained to lead these tours, which allow participants to visualize the art through close, careful descriptions and special touch objects such as sculptures, art materials, woodblocks, and ritual implements.
High-Contrast, Large-Print Labels
High-contrast, large-print labels are available for every exhibition. They can be found in binders in each gallery to assist visitors in viewing and understanding the exhibitions.
