The Daily News reports that the Brooklyn Museum is offering tours for the blind.

"The museum began offering Touch Tours last year, Flynn said, but so
far, attendance has been only fair. Next Tuesday afternoon, to
celebrate Art Beyond Sight Awareness Month, the museum will host an
open house for adults who are blind or have visual impairments.

On the guided Touch Tours, visitors also can examine masks from the
museum’s African collection and feel textiles from the Peruvian
collection.

Annamarie Kaplon of Bensonhurst described her tour as “nothing short of fabulous.”

“I was floored,” said Kaplon, 51, who has retinitis pigmentosa. “The sculptures were so detailed, so vivid.”
