Visual content is inaccessible to blind people and difficult to access for visually impaired people. The interior museum, which is the Wilanów Palace Museum, is a very visual place. Starting from the view of the palace and gardens, through impressions and information contained in the arrangements of individual interiors, to exhibits presented in various parts of the palace. The sight of all these places and objects is a real dose of information, and for many - unusual impressions and emotions. So can people for whom visual content is inaccessible come to the museum? Of course! And one of the solutions that brings them closer to art is audio description and its text version - description.
What is this?
Audio description is the acoustic description of visual information. Its aim is to enable blind and visually impaired people to receive important visual content. Thanks to this solution, you can find out what a given work of art, exhibition room looks like or what information is placed on information boards. Thanks to this solution, you can experience art and delve into its nooks and crannies and details.
For whom?
Audio description was first created as a tool for people with visual impairments – blind, visually impaired, deaf-blind.
However, this solution can be used by anyone interested in learning more about a work of art. It is also an interesting way of introducing art to the authors of the descriptions. Often, it is only when writing audio descriptions that they notice details and nuances that had previously escaped them even after frequent but cursory viewing of the described item.

Our proposals
The project creates descriptions of the exhibition rooms at the “Art Collecting in the Potocki Family” exhibition. There will also be audio descriptions of selected objects and typhlographic descriptions, i.e. sound descriptions guiding the hand for two new tactile images.
The project is carried out as part of the project entitled “Culture without barriers” financed by the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development (POWER) 2014-2020, Measure 4.3 Transnational cooperation, implemented by the State Fund for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, National Heritage and Sport, the Culture Without Barriers Foundation and the Institut für Bildung und Kultur e.V. (The Institute for Education and Culture, Remscheid, Germany).
