Typhlological Museum, Tactile art museum in Zagreb, Croatia
The Typhlological Museum is a tactile art museum in Zagreb with exhibits designed to be touched and explored. The collection includes sculptures, photographs, and materials that show how visually impaired people experience and interact with their surroundings.
The museum was founded in 1953 and is based on a collection started by Vinko Bek, a teacher of visually impaired children. Bek began gathering objects in the 19th century for what he called his Croatian Blind Museum.
The museum displays sculptures created by blind artists working without formal training. Visitors experience how these artists interpret and shape the world around them through their hands.
The museum is located centrally in Zagreb and can be explored on foot. Most exhibits are designed to be touched without special equipment, so plan time to discover the collection with your hands.
The Dark Room is a special space where sighted visitors can perform everyday tasks without any light. This room helps sighted people understand what it feels like to rely on senses other than sight.
