Participants learn to recognize objects and textures without the use of sight. The venue functions as an educational project intended to bridge the gap between sighted people and the blind community. It provides a platform to understand the challenges of daily life for the visually impaired. Interactive workshops and sensory games are frequently integrated into the tour.
