To mark the Inuit exhibition, the Museum is inviting visitors with visual impairments to join a special sensory guided tour. Discover the world of the Inuit in a different way: through touch, listening and imagination. Using a tactile model, you’ll explore the landscapes of the Arctic, the animals and their habitats. Your hands will wander over relief prints, soapstone sculptures and everyday objects that tell the story of life in the Far North.
Tactile installations demonstrate how a print is created: from carving out the motif to the final impression. Meanwhile, the sounds of the Arctic...
To mark the Inuit exhibition, the Museum is inviting visitors with visual impairments to join a special sensory guided tour. Discover the world of the Inuit in a different way: through touch, listening and imagination. Using a tactile model, you’ll explore the landscapes of the Arctic, the animals and their habitats. Your hands will wander over relief prints, soapstone sculptures and everyday objects that tell the story of life in the Far North.
Tactile installations demonstrate how a print is created: from carving out the motif to the final impression. Meanwhile, the sounds of the Arctic fully immerse you in the atmosphere: the cracking of the ice, the rustling of the wind and the sounds of animals. In the space dedicated to shamanism, you’ll discover another dimension of Inuit culture. Throat singing and the rhythm of the drum take you on a unique sensory journey. The tour ends in a peaceful spot, where traditional stories and tales take centre stage. An invitation to listen together, share and bring the experience to a close.
