The Tactile Exhibition „Please Touch“ (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Educational Activities

In cooperation with the Historical Museum, we organized the tactile exhibition for the blind and visually impaired people entitled “Please touch”.

Tactile exhibition
Tactfully experience three-dimensional and relief objects

Casts and reduced replicas of archaeological collections of the local cultural and historical heritage, as well as many museums of the world (Greece, Rome, Egypt, the Middle and Far East, pre-Columbian America and the Italian Renaissance) have been exhibited. All replicas were made in New Acropolis sculpture art studio.

The exhibition was specially adapted to blind and visually impaired people who could tactfully experience three-dimensional and relief objects in order to enter the world of our ancestors, through touch and imagination and enjoy the beauty and richness of human expression and cultural diversity.
