Meadows Museum opens doors for visually impaired emily heft Food Editor eheft@smu.edu Everyone knows in a museum, one can look as much as he or she wants, but never touch, let alone taste or sniff the artwork. But soon at the Meadows Museum, visitors will be able to do just that. The Meadows Museum has joined only a handful of others in the country in a fight for accessibility for all museumgoers. New programs and initiatives allow the visually impaired to experience and enjoy the artwork just as any other

guest would. Meadows’ extensive collection of Spanish art is being modified to include multisensory tools. First, volunteers trained to work with the visually impaired will describe a work out loud. A thorough description can help give context and details to an image. Paintings are recreated on 3-dimensional paper, for guests to be able to “see” them and come up with an image in their mind’s eye by feeling a painting’s shape. Other items included in the paintings, like a pipe, umbrella,

or hat, are given to guests so that they can feel the shape of the objects present in the image. Little vials of scents are also used, like pomegranate from one painting or tobacco smoke from another. Some sculptures have been approved for guests to touch and feel while wearing special gloves, too. In the future, exhibits may include music or food as well, with the goal of engaging all five senses. The accessibility program also hosts community events for the
