A new type of museum where you can touch and enjoy all the exhibits
Photography: ss kikaku and others
Overview | This museum is based on the concept of "touching" the exhibits so that people who have difficulty using museums, especially those with visual impairments, can enjoy the exhibits. Until now, the majority of museum exhibits have been visual, but this museum places emphasis on providing information through touch as well as sight, and is designed to allow everyone to share the excitement of touching the exhibits. This facility is a practical attempt to explore a new form of universal museum. |

Issues/Themes | Our goal is to create a museum that takes into consideration exhibition techniques and operation methods, allowing everyone to touch and enjoy all the exhibits. |
Space Solution/Realization | To realize this ambitious initiative, we had repeated discussions with museum staff about not only the display methods but also the operation methods, and considered various ideas and approaches. We had visually impaired people actually touch the archaeological and ethnographic materials, and repeatedly carried out verification processes. We repeatedly prototyped the design of the exhibition fixtures, and created them after verifying the shape and dimensions that would make it easy to touch the materials. Through repeated discussions between the museum, visually impaired people, and the exhibition designers, we created a facility where anyone can experience the excitement of touching the materials. |
