Museum for Blind People in Madrid
The Spanish National Organization fo Blind People opened in 1992 the Typholologic Museum. It offeres blind people the possibilty to touch all pieces shown in its exhibitions.
There are three different areas, one dedicated to scale models of the most important buildings and monuments in the world, like the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal and also Madrilian monuments like the Puerta de Alcala or the Cibeles. Also for people who can see it is interesting to “see” these monuments with their hands.
Another area is dedicated to art pieces made by blind artists and the third one shows typholological materials.
The museum is located at calle La Coruña and open from Tuesdays to Fridays from 1000 to 1400 and from 1700 to 2000. On Saturdays from 1000 to 1400. Entrance is free.
