Museo Tattile Varese

About

In all the museums of the world it is forbidden to touch, in this no. Because knowing through touch is a fantastic opportunity to understand the world and art, even for all those who see, that can doing blindfolded visits, and it is a way to allow people who do not see us to know about art through hands. This museum houses a collection of wooden tactile models which, like a three-dimensional encyclopedia to be browsed with hands, reproduce aspects of the landscape, archeology and architecture. There are also multi-sensory paths and installations, in which the visitor can check how the senses speak a special language capable of making us better understand all aspects of reality. The world becomes a kaleidoscope of possibilities, which asks to be "heard" with all the senses: fun aspects and new forms of knowledge of reality, monuments and tactile games, sensory emotions and art, teaching and experimentation.
