Up Close with ACM: A tactile museum experience by facilitators from Dialogue in the Dark
2–3.30pm
River Room, L2
$10 refundable deposit
ACM has partnered with Dialogue in the Dark Singapore to develop an intimate programme led by facilitators with Visual Impairment. During this 90-minute session, participants can, while blindfolded, handle 3D-printed objects based on ones in the museum’s collection. They will then get to experience the museum in a new way, from the perspective of their visually impaired facilitators, as they tour ACM’s Maritime Trade and Court & Company galleries.
This programme is generously supported by Keppel.
