This is such a moving series. I had no idea that some museums, like the Met, MoMA and the Whitney, all in NYC, even did these, and it's super that they do. Many art galleries allow private tours for blind or partially sighted people to come in and touch the artworks, experiencing the art that way- isn't that amazing? I learnt about it as always via
Cup Of Jo.
New York photographer, Matt Ducklo, captured some of these truly tactile experiences:
