Visual Description Tours

On the last Friday of every month at 2pm, a museum educator offers a visual description tour in a select exhibition.

This 30-minute verbal overview, crafted for visitors who are blind or low vision, is a way of using words to represent the visual world, helping people form mental images of what they cannot see. All are welcome to join this gallery conversation. 

If you are interested in learning more, or would like to book an individual visual description tour, please email us at museumeducation@oscars.org.
