ABOUT
Tactile Studio is a French design agency and a workshop for universal design in arts and culture.
Tactile experiences are essential to people with visual impairments and greatly assist many people with cognitive disabilities. Tactile experiences should be included in every exhibition.Thus, key objects of the exhibition will become understandable by using our senses: Looking – Listening – Smelling – Seeing the object.
With touching artefacts, an integrated audio or olfactive device and elevated texts the multi-sensory stations ask visitors to engage and to become actively involved in the exhibition. The result: Experience shows that a multi-sensory learning significantly increases the retention of content. While as visitors retained only 10% of an information after reading a text, 30% already better memorized the content after looking at a picture. In contrast, 90% of the information was retained after a participatory experience.
Pioneers in France, the nations’s top museums have entrusted their collections to our expertise in inclusive art mediation.
