Photographs to Touch

Convinced that access to art is a fundamental right, the Musée de l’Élysée has created an innovative project aimed at making photography accessible to blind audiences. Around thirty important works from the Museum’s collections have been transcribed into tactile images and posted online, making them accessible to blind audiences worldwide.
