The Museum

Museum of the Visually Impaired has 4500 exhibits and

houses one of Europe´s most complete collections of its type. The Museum gives the visitor an impression of the lives and living conditions of visually impaired people through the past 200 years.

In one section the visitor is invited to step into a tableau representing the dark attic where the young visually impaired were training to become basket makers, brush makers, shoemakers, rope makers and weavers at The Royal Institute for the Blind.

The Museum is open to the public on Tuesdays from 13-15, or by appointment. You can book a guided tour. All museum exhibits may be touched by the visually impaired.

The Museum is closed during school holidays.
