🏛 Ancona - The Omero Tactile Museum

A "small but unmissable" gem among Italian museums—the Omero Tactile Museum in Ancona. As its name suggests, the museum pays homage to Homer, the legendary blind poet. It is a one-of-a-kind museum designed for the visually impaired, offering an inclusive way to experience art through touch.🌈 📜 History & Vision In 1985, a well-traveled blind couple, Aldo Grassini and Daniela Bottegoni, grew frustrated that traditional museums prohibited touching artworks, denying blind visitors equal access to art. Their vision led to the creation of this museum, which opened on May 29, 1993, funded by the Marche region and the city of Ancona.😜 On November 25, 1999, the Italian Parliament unanimously recognized it as a National Museum, cementing its unique international significance. Today, it is jointly managed by the Ancona Municipality and the Italian Ministry of Culture. 💖 #Art #Museum #MustVisitMuseum #Exhibition #ArtExhibition #Homer #Sculpture #ArtGallery #Italy #Ancona
