EXHIBITION IN VOLUME - Perception by touch - Black Sea Inhabitants
The project "Black Sea Inhabitants" by NGO One Nature in partnership with Regional Historical Museum Burgas is aimed at the development and implementation of an interactive exhibition for blind people, showing the most interesting and memorable sea residents. This group of people is completely ignored in the work of museums, the creation of exhibitions and events. Even the buildings and permanent exhibitions are unsuitable for a visit by people with similar disabilities. A traveling exhibition of this kind will allow people (blind and sighted) across Bulgaria to see trough touch some of the Black Sea inhabitants and learn interesting facts about their biology.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Black Sea and its inhabitants is a favorite topic of young and old, but it is very hard see up close.
- Blind people can hear different animals, but can not see the beauty, colors and variety of shapes and dimensions.
- Museums and galleries in Bulgaria and throughout the world are "debtors" to people with disabilities as exhibitions are mostly not tailored to their special needs.
