Audio Description Tour—Art and Oral Traditions

Every visit to a museum is a journey through the wisdom of generations. With this premise, join a guided reflection on artworks from global cultures that represent and inspire oral traditions, storytelling, and spoken rituals.

This live, audio description tour is in partnership with MindsEye, a Belleville, Illinois, nonprofit organization that strives to build a more inclusive community by translating vision into audio. Staff from MindsEye will lead the free, drop-in tours, which feature the same theme each month as the Museum’s Drop-In Collection Tours but with an added emphasis on audio description, making them more accessible for visitors with visual impairments.

Tours begin at the Sculpture Hall welcome desk. No reservation is required. However, space is limited, so signing up on the MindsEye events page is recommended.
