Inclusion

One of the greatest challenges for the contemporary museum is to go beyond all the architectural, cognitive, sensory and cultural barriers that makes it diffucult to fully access the cultural heritage and its tangible and intangible values.

The Musei Reali face their commitment towards people with special needs by offering visit itineraries dedicated to people with sensory disabilities, created with the contribution of and in collaboration with The Turin Institute for the Deaf and The Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired of Turin.

Moreover, it is possible to book:

guided tours with tactile readings of tridimensional models, of original samples taken from the museum’s storages and of natural elements existing in the Gardens.
guided or autonomous tours, with the support of tactile educational material at the Archeological Museum, in the space dedicated to The Marengo Treasure.
visits with LIS (Italian Sign Language)
