I am not blind, nor do I have family or friends who a blind, but this really showed how blind people can overcome daily obstacles. It also showed the history of innovations for the blind population. It my family a lot to think about.

I never stopped to think about how difficult it would be to learn to read braille. There was a museum that had the history of the differnet prints for braille. One was our regular letters raised.. and while you may thing it easy.. it isnt. We how they actually made the braille pages of books, how they made different products... More

We took our grandsons here to raise their awareness of the needs of the blind and how they cope. There are limited exhibits but what is there is very nice.

I'm a teacher and have a cousin who is blind, so the topic was of particular interest to me. You are able... More

The tours are great, the guide having been a former teacher for the blind. Ours was one on one, and she was very knowledgable and kind. She showed us all sorts of tools and books that are currently being used for their education. Not only did we get to see the factory and how things were printed, but we also... More
