Tactiles Touch Tour at the Art Institute of Chicago

The Art Institute offers a fresh approach to experiencing art for visitors who have low vision. They provide Tactiles kits which consist of a series of masterpieces from the Art Institute’s collection represented on handheld tiles designed to be touched. The tiles reproduce the compositions and textures of the artworks, making them legible through the fingertips. Each Tactile fits into a slot in a specifically designed carrying case, which includes a color photograph, a large-type print description, and a Braille description of each work.
