The museum held a tactile tour for the visually impaired Serpukhov
The Serpukhov Historical Art Museum hosted the third excursion as part of a tactile program for members of the Serpukhov local branch of the All-Russian Society of the Blind. This was reported by the leading methodologist of the scientific educational department of SIHM Victoria Zotova.
The final theme of the excursion cycle “The Mystery of the Merchant Mansion” was the story about the furniture of the merchant old-believer Anna Maraeva – the mistress of the mansion of the XIX century. During the event, guests with the help of tactile models and tiflo commentaries - concise descriptions of objects and space - got acquainted with furniture, fireplaces and musical instruments presented in the exposition.
The tour program began with a small concert on the piano, then the participants were held through the halls of the ancient mansion, and the meeting ended with creative art reflection.
According to Victoria Zotova, the tactile program “The Secret of the Merchant Mansion” was implemented thanks to the victory of the Serpukhov Museum in the grant competition of the “Light” charity fund.
