Audio Description Tour—Global Connections

Explore the newly configured Medieval art gallery installation, Global Connections, which encourages visitors to understand the pivotal role of merchants and traders in the global exchange of artistic materials and techniques during the Middle Ages.

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.
