Description

Most museums encourage visitors not to touch the exhibits, but the Ulster Museum has waived that rule for blind and visually-impaired visitors. A special exhibition puts the Museum's most tactile artifacts on display. Blind visitors can interact with the pieces which include sculptures, fossils, bones and artwork. It has been a big success. A group of visiting schoolkids from Jordanstown School help the staff in a rehearsal ahead of the launch.
