Listen Later

As more of us consider travelling this year for some much needed holidays in a warmer climate. You might want to experience some art and culture whilst you are away.

So today, we're going to take a look at 'Double Meaning', a tactile tour program available at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

RNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew spoke with Valeria Bottalico, who curated the project since its inception in 2015, to find out more about the tour and the adjoining workshops lead by a visually impaired artist.

'Double Meaning' was created in collaboration with the Ciechi Institute of Milan, the Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired, and with the patronage of ICOM Italia (International Council of Museums). The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation’s programs for visitors who are blind or have low vision are supported by Ornellaia.
