MUSEE DES BEAUX ARTS, VALENCIENNES

VALENCIENNES, FRANCE

The museum requested an inclusive wayfinding system that would address
blind visitors, without interfering with
the existing exhibit design.

At the entrance, a raised floor plan introduces the tactile itinerary through the museum, and a segment of Raynes Rail provides directions with distances.
At each gallery, a tactile diagram consistently guides to the statues that
can be touched and to the next gallery.
