There are many ways for those visually impaired to experience the history of the city in the new museum. Tactile floor guidelines lead to the entrance door, the cash desk, the cloakroom, the sanitary facilities and through all exhibition areas. There are tactile overview plans on all floors for orientation. People who are blind or visually impaired may bring an assistance dog into the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multimedia guide offers a specially adapted tour for people with visual impairments, which includes audio-descriptive elements as well as comments. In addition, all crucial exhibition texts also appear in Braille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve also developed a special option for visually impaired people: many exhibits proclaim \u201cFeel free to touch!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All exhibition texts are supplemented by audio-descriptive elements and are also available for download as accessible documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
