Cultural participation implies that everyone is invited to experience art and cultural offerings. A museum has the task of making its artefacts, and the subjects they represent, as broadly and actively accessible as possible. As a place of encounter and dialogue, it can further our understanding of each other. Art literally offers the opportunity of getting to know new ways of seeing.
As an offer to people with visual impairment or visual disabilities, one painting from the collection, The Artist’s Son on the Sofa by Max Pechstein, has been transposed into a touch model. It offers the opportunity of experiencing art through touch. The touch model is complemented by an acoustic description that can be heard on the Multimedia Guide.
