We understand—visiting art galleries might seem daunting if you’re worried about not fully experiencing the artwork. The concern that you’ll miss the visual beauty of the pieces can be overwhelming. But with the right approach, you can deeply connect with art in a meaningful way.
At Vision Loss Travel, we believe that art should be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of visual ability. Many galleries now offer accessible experiences that allow you to connect with art through senses beyond sight.
