Ysaac,

The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers a wonderful
touch collection to compliment the works in their
galleries. In addition, they offer weekend classes for
children with a range of disabilities and their
families. Their access program is exemplary.

Also, Snoezelen, a multi-sensory zone designed for
individuals with sensory impairments, is being used by
a number of children's museum. One such museum is the
DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville.
