About

TactileMuseum makes art and archaeological exhibits multisensorial, making them accessible and entertaining for audiences that typically stay clear of museums. We make fragile artifacts touchable allowing the visually impaired, kids and the general public to experience art and archaeology in a way previously only available under carefully monitored setting.

There are currently 1.2MM legally blind people in the USA alone, and 42MM worldwide. This segment of the population, although paying taxes like everybody, does not get to benefit from the rich anthropological heritage available in museum exhibits, because most artifacts are kept securely under glass cubes, out of reach.

Similarly, kids with an insatiable appetite for stimulating ways to learn about the world, don’t get to experience artifacts with all their senses, thus limiting their interest in such exhibits.

We aim to change that and to make your next museum visit interactive and memorable!

Team

We are an international team of specialists in different fields.

Our wide range of experience covers art, teaching, software & hardware design, archaeology, and consulting in international settings.

The founders joined forces to create Tactile Museum and offer the technology in different parts of the world to emphasize the interesting parallels that can be drawn between artifacts, and more importantly the cultures that created them, to drive home the fact that regardless of where we call home, we all come from the same place!
