This audio guide is narrated by the curators to provide assistance to anyone who might need it in navigating the exhibit, as well as to provide additional commentary on the contents of the exhibition beyond what is printed on the exhibit labels. We hope that you will join us on our walk through more than a century of discussion, debate and development of programs for the education and advancements of blind people.
The full tour proceeds around the perimeter of the gallery. It then returns to the center of the gallery to discuss the main divisions of tactile books in the nineteenth century and the ways their readers might have used them. A chime will signal when to move to the next case.

Out of consideration for other guests, we ask that you use headphones when listening to the audio tour.
