Exhibit Design Relating to Low Vision and Blindness: What Visitors with Vision Loss Want Museums and Parks to Know about Effective Communication

Detail

Participants sensed detail that went beyond the structure of the buildings. They found features like letters in the names of the states and lion heads on the Lincoln Memorial. They were able to differentiate between friezes and wreath decorations and identify types of columns. Key features were obvious and well expressed to everyone. In some cases the shape of a building wasn’t exactly how someone had imagined it and they welcomed the discovery of the building’s actual shape. Participants wanted to experience all sides of the buildings. The models aren’t full rounds.
