At the end of the tour, you'll be taken to a room full of gadgets used by blind people every day, such as talking scales and a Braille typewriter. The idea behind the exhibition is to bring the worlds with and without sight closer together so that we can better understand each other. Tours take place every 15 minutes Monday to Friday noon-8pm and on weekends and public holidays 10am-8pm.
