Seeing without Sight is a multi-sensory exhibition which enables visitors to experience a selection of Hunt Museum objects through tactile displays and audio descriptions. It has been delivered through an inclusive co-creation process with persons with visual impairment and confirms the museum’s commitment to expanding access and inclusion for persons with disability. This exhibition is funded through the Heritage Council’s Community grant scheme and was originally launched during Heritage Week.

We are very pleased to share that Seeing without Sight has been awarded the Inclusive Event Award at The Heritage Council Awards 2023.

We look forward to welcoming you. If you or any of your party require accessibility assistance, please contact Maria at maria@huntmuseum.com or +353 (0)61 312 833.
