Why it matters now

The exhibition opened October 7 and is now on view through February 14, 2027. Its tactile models and accessible interpretation make it more than a display to look at: visitors can engage with Braille through touch and other senses. Before visiting, check the museum’s Monday and Lunar New Year closure (February 7, 2027) and the official admission information for this special exhibition.
