This New 28,000-Square-Foot Louisville Museum Asks Visitors to Touch the Exhibits
A new Louisville museum invites visitors to touch the exhibits. People with disabilities helped test it, and a guide dog changed the design. New museum in Louisville, Kentucky, The Dot Experience, aims to give visitors with different abilities more independence without separate accessible tours or accommodations. The museum, which covers 28,000 square feet, allows visitors to interact with exhibits by touch and sound. During development, a guide dog's refusal to cross flooring strips prompted the team to rethink where the strips go led to a redesign of a replica of Helen Keller's silver scroll holder. The exhibition also features tactile reproductions of historical artifacts and a behind-the-scenes look at APH's working production facility.
