At Italy’sOmero Museum in Ancona, art can be explored through touch. Designed with blind and visually impaired visitors in mind, the museum allows guests to feel replicas of world-famous sculptures, architectural models and artworks spanning from antiquity to the present day. Founded in 1993 by blind couple Aldo Grassini and Daniela Bottegoni, the institution challenges the traditional "Do not touch" museum rule and aims to make culture more accessible. For visitors like Serena Stronati, touch opens a unique path to understanding art history.
