Navigation guide

An innovation of the exhibition of the museum of the holy monastery of Skiadi is the tour guide for people with impaired vision and the blind, which makes the exhibition accessible to visitors who have lost their sight, the "dominant" sense of a museum experience, or part of it.

When designing the exhibition layout, care was taken to ensure that no group of the public would be excluded. For people with visual impairments, the tour guide directs the visitor through the museum space through touch, as all the exhibition halls have been fully outfitted with a dedicated embossed tape. At the same time, there are tactile diagrams and explanatory texts in Braille.

Visitors are invited to open drawers and explore objects through touch, use their sense of smell, and listen to narrations from tablets equipped with headphones.

Devices intended for use by individual visitors and people with disabilities, as well as displays where the visitor is asked to use their sense of touch or smell, are placed at an appropriate height. In addition, devices intended for use by people with visual impairments are equipped with a special application that is activated by touch.

Inside the exhibition, visitors are able to move as comfortably as possible and unencumbered movement of wheelchairs and disabled people is facilitated.

Moreover, outside the monastery churchyard there is a special parking area with an access ramp to the monastery, the exhibition space and the toilets for the disabled.
