Multimedia access for disabled visitors

Brief Description

National Museum of Leskovac improved the access to its permanent exhibition for disabled people as well as visitor experience developing multimedia content about museum collections that includes translation to sign language as well as audio material about the museum collections. Visitors can view this material online at the museum web site or on the screen in the museum. Blind and visually impaired visitors can now walk independently through the collection following 14 meters of installed tactile trail, which leads to a tactile exhibition area within the permanent exhibition. Glasses with additional light and a magnifier are also provided upon the request. Also several benches are now available in the exhibition area. All this would not be possible without partnership with disabled people associations, such as the City organization of deaf and partially deaf Leskovac, Association of people with disabilities Leskovac, Association of blind and visually impaired people Srbija and other colleagues and partners.
