Nationaal Blindenmuseum: approaching reading and daily tasks differently

Nationaal Blindenmuseum in Ermelo deals with participation in society by blind and partially sighted people. Reading materials and teaching and assistive aids form the stated core of the collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Different ways of reading

The reading collection shows the subject more broadly than an ordinary printed book. Ask which forms of reading are explained and how the various aids can be examined during the visit.

Trying out assistive aids

The museum mentions the option of trying out many aids yourself. Follow the explanation as you do so and ask what an aid does, without equating a short try-out with someone’s daily life.

Advocacy too

Alongside the objects, advocacy also receives attention. That connects practical aids with the question of how people gain access to education, information and other activities.

Before you go

Visits are by appointment only, with a limited group size. Use the visitor address in Ermelo; a postal address elsewhere is not the museum location.
