Exploring the Rijksmuseum is a big adventure. For blind and visually impaired visitors, this can be quite a challenge. Now there is an exciting new way to explore the museum: an audio-tactile model! Imagine a detailed model of the Rijksmuseum that you can touch and listen to. This innovative model features foldable floors and audio points that explain what can be seen. The model was initiated and created by Hannes Wallrafen. A former photographer who exhibited in the Rijksmuseum himself, Hannes founded Stichting Geluid in Zicht after losing his own vision. With his audio models, he makes museums more accessible for blind and visually impaired people. The audio-tactile model was financially supported by the Bartimeus Fund.

Great work. Please share insights how printed 3D models and object clones can help people with disabilities.
