Tel.: +31(0)33-2464374
You step into another universe at the National Blind Museum in Ermelo. The collection is housed in a room of the Christian Blind Library. All objects seem to be arranged in a rather messy way, but that appears to be part of this museum. The decoration of the museum is a logical consequence of the fact that the staff is blind. Three helpful employees provide the tour. Everything by touch! You name the attributes that are in the cabinets and then the staff explains. The attendants grab machines, games and Braille books and show how everything works. With this customized tour you can experience what the world of the blind is like. Can only be visited by appointment.
