Tactile Exhibit
Also known as: Touch Exhibit, Hands-On Exhibit, Tactile Display
A museum or gallery exhibit designed to be explored through touch rather than sight, allowing visitors to physically interact with objects, models, or replicas. Tactile exhibits are particularly important for accessibility as they enable blind and low-vision visitors to experience artifacts and concepts that would otherwise be inaccessible through visual display alone. Effective tactile exhibits include braille labels, audio descriptions, and spatial layout guidance to support independent exploration by visitors with visual impairments.
