"Reconsidering Seeing" Project
As part of a 2020 Agency for Cultural Affairs initiative supporting museum activities in collaboration with local communities, the museum explored non-visual ways to enjoy art. This initiative, conducted with visually impaired individuals, expanded the concept of "seeing" and introduced alternative methods of art appreciation. Videos and other materials from this project are available for viewing.
