tour of Shelter: Crafting a Safe Home. Designated for visitors with visual
impairments and their companions, this tour will combine audio or verbal
description of visual objects with the tactile experience of touching the art
(when permissible) or replicas, facsimiles or other props that assist visitors
who are blind or visually impaired. The guide, Jane Ehrenfeld, will combine
verbal descriptions of the works with the tactile experience of touching
samples of materials, facsimiles or the artworks themselves. </font></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
