SERVICES FOR DISABLEDMuseum accessibilityThe Museum’s collection can be seen, touched and felt. Since its opening it has distinguished itself for the high standard of accessibility in all its possible declinations. The Museum in fact does not have architectural barriers that preclude the access to the disabled people and it is placed on a unique floor.The project “Open Museum!” The Museum has created the project “Open Museum!” to promote the sensorial accessibility of its collection. 1. Tactile visit for visually impaired peopleThe Didactical Section of the Accorsi Museum has created a tactile itinerary so as to make the permanent collection accessible to visually impaired people as well. Along the usual itinerary of the visit - by means of tactile exploration of models realised specifically for this purpose - it is possible to go through the evolution of the styles and forms which characterised the decorative arts of the Eighteenth Century: each room of the Museum is presented with a material, object or perfume which - in a certain way - represents its peculiarity.Free entrance for chaperons and visually impaired people. For information: Didactic Department +39 011.837.688.4 2. Internet siteBack to October 2003 is the accommodation of www.fondazioneaccorsi.it to the demands of the sight impaired people, thanks to the kind collaboration of the National Association for the sight impaired people and to Nethouse S.p.A., which created the new site according to the international standards of W3C-WCAG. Thanks to the device of vocal synthesis, the written words become speech and all the texts can be printed in Braille letters. In August 2005 www.fondazioneaccorsi.it took 4th place at the eContent Award Italy, the award for the best digital format content, in the category eInclusion dedicated to disability, and in June 2006 it deserved a certification for its quality from the Commission of the Observatory ABCO (Associazione Beni Culturali Online), the Association of the most important Italian institutions in the field of cultural heritage. |
