Cambridge museum and the Rowan Humberstone arts centre will place disabled people in the storytelling seat not only to improve access to the museum and it’s collection but also to showcase those often unheard stories of disabled people in Cambridgeshire - past, present, and future.

The project has been made possible by Funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation Through the Museum’s Association.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Alex Smaridge, engagement and collections manager at Cambridge Museum to give more detail about this very exciting project which is very much in the early stages at the moment.

You will find out more about Cambridge Museum and ways of contacting the museum if you live in or around Cambridge and would like to get involved in the project or share your own experiences of visiting a museum as a blind or partially sighted person by visiting the museum’s website - https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk
