Our exhibits cover hundreds of years of blindness history. 

Our exhibits tell the story of the efforts of generations of parents, teachers, and students——both blind and sighted-to overcome obstacles to literacy and learning.

Exhibits

Online Exhibits 

Our digital exhibits explore topics in greater depth than allowable in our physical displays. Whether it’s braillewriters or the amazing Mary Ingalls, these featured exhibits give you insight on how people with visual impairments live, learn, and thrive with the right kind of tools and the will to succeed.
