How can an individual who is blind experience a
painting? How can a visitor who is deaf participate in a docent tour?
Two museum professionals will discuss program ideas and useful
materials for visitors with these special needs. In the galleries of
the Asian Art Museum people with disabilities will share their museum
experiences and offer suggestions. Participants will discuss
challenges and opportunities, and brainstorm ideas using the existing
displays.
