Audio Description Tour—Ceramics Around the World
Discover how cultures worldwide have used earth, water, and fire to create outstanding ceramics ranging from Attic Greek amphoras to Zapotec vessels.
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 visual 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.
