Subject: Visually impaired visitors / staff
Hi all,
I am writing some articles for the September issue of Museum Practice on visually impaired visitors.
Does anyone in this group know of any interesting case studies where technology is being used to engage with this audience or of any consultants working in this area? I'm also keen to speak to visually impaired museum professionals.
Please get in touch if you have any recommendations - [log in to unmask]
Thanks - have a great weekend!
