The exhibition will be followed by a conference on 3rd May, while interactive workshops organised according to groups of impairment will take place in the morning of 4th May.

The hands-on experience will showcase works and thematic pieces by contemporary fine and applied artists, as well as works by visually, audibly and mentally impaired people, highlighting the diversity of materials used, both in terms of colour and texture. During the conference discussions by non-impaired artists, therapists and artists living with impairment will focus on the relationship between living with impairments and the arts. The event’s main patron is Miklós Soltész, State Secretary in Charge of Social, Family and Youth Affairs of the Ministry of National Resources.

The museum’s new exhibition will display one work by each one of some thirty sighted and visually impaired artists. Thanks to the diverse application of materials, techniques and forms, the show will ensure a manifold experience for all visitors.

As a special feature, sighted visitors will be able to take the exhibited works in their hands led by visually impaired guides: blindfolded visitors will have the opportunity to rely on visually impaired and blind tour guides and thus explore the works in a truly novel way.
