You can touch art. Actually, you’ve got to. That’s the whole meaning of the “Contatto. Feeling paintings with your hands” exhibit. Four painted masterpieces are presented in relief form in order to allow the public to discover a two-dimensional work through a touchable experience as opposed to a visual one. This exhibit is not exclusively for the visually impaired however. Everyone is invited to experience this touchable option as a process to become gradually more familiar with a given work of art, the shapes used to create it and the tales it conceals. The four paintings have been transposed onto touchable panels and are now at the Museo di Roma for the purpose of expanding the quality of what the museum has to offer, thus becoming a part of other accessibility-related programmes like “Museum Touch Tours” and “Art for the Blind” which have been added to all city museums.
