Musée Valentin Haüy, Museum of blind education in 7th district, France
The Musée Valentin Haüy presents tools, equipment, and books that demonstrate the development of educational methods for visually impaired individuals since 1771.
Professor Edgard Guilbeau of the National Institute for Young Blind People established the museum in 1886 to honor Valentin Haüy's contributions to blind education.
The museum collection includes extensive documentation of reading and writing systems, showing the progression from raised letters to modern braille techniques.
Located at 5 rue Duroc in Paris, the museum opens on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons without admission fees, making education accessible to all visitors.
The facility maintains an Art Nouveau furniture collection from 1907, specifically designed to create an educational cabinet of curiosities for tactile exploration.
