WATCH: A Dutch museum has launched a project to make its offerings more accessible and enjoyable for the visually impaired by recreating existing paintings with extra dimensions, such as sound and smell
AMSTERDAM, Aug 16 - Visitors to a Dutch exhibition titled "The Blind Spot" may call it a little cheesy - but they mean that as a compliment.
The exhibit recreates existing paintings but with extra dimensions, such as sound and smell - including the aroma of ripe cheese. And for once, museum-goers are allowed to touch. "The first thing that struck me was the smell," said Farid el Manssouri, who is visually impaired, smiling after he ran his hands over cheese, grapes and a bread roll made into objects from Van Dyck's original canvas.
