ROM launches 'tactile tours' for blind visitors, ASL program for deaf - Society - Canada - World - The Moose Jaw Times Herald
The Royal Ontario Museum is introducing "tactile tours" for blind visitors, allowing them to explore certain objects by touch.
The once-a-month tours, led by museum guides, will feature artifacts from the world cultures and natural history galleries. The first tour, set for June 17, will highlight Chinese items. To reserve, call 416-586-5823.
The museum is also launching monthly American Sign Language-English interpreted tours for visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing, in partnership with the George Brown College School of Deaf and Deafblind Studies.
The ROM says it has received an anonymous gift of $1.5 million to support the programs.
