The Swiss Museum for the Blind, "Seeing Differently," serves as a unique blend of exhibition, dark room, tactile collection, and studio. It offers a multifaceted environment for knowledge dissemination and sensory exploration. Central to its mission is the promotion of accessibility for individuals of all visual abilities—be they blind, visually impaired, or sighted—with the overarching goal of fostering empathy and understanding towards those affected by visual impairments.

Within the confines of the dark room, visitors are transported into the daily reality of a blind person. Immerse in an environment devoid of light, they are encouraged to rely solely on their senses of hearing, touch, and smell, thus heightening their awareness and appreciation of the sensory experiences that shape the lives of visually impaired individuals.

The Swiss Museum for the blind was the winner of the European Museum Award Special Commendations 2022
