Blind Visitor Experiences at Art Museums seeks to answer two
questions: 1.Given the guiding principle of visual art being
understood only by sight, what do people understand when sight is
diminished or not there? 2.Moreover, given the experience of
blindness, what are the effects of vision loss or no vision on a
cultural identity in art? It does this by exploring seven in-depth
case studies of visitors to the education department at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the experiences of
leading groups by two teachers. In addition, this book includes
findings from participant observations in classes and touch tours
for blind and visually impaired people at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. After reading this book, readers will understand both
passive and active social exclusion from the museum's facilities
(active exclusion is defined as a deliberate act of exclusion based
on the belief that blind people are incapable of understanding
visual art, whereas passive exclusion is defined as exclusion
resulting from an aspect of miseducation, such as inappropriate
building design or learning materials, or a lack of training,
knowledge, resources, access materials or buildings).
