The Typhlological Museum was created in 1992 by ONCE and it is defined as a museum to be seen and touched. It takes its name from the greek word typhlós that means blind.

Our mission is to help the people with low vision access the culture, to promote the work of artists who are affiliated to ONCE and to offer the visitors a different approach to our collections.
The museum counts with three permanent collections:

• Reproductions of national and international monuments.
• Art pieces by blind and partially sighted artists.
• Typhlologic material.

The design of the exhibition rooms, the orientation systems (Beepcons and haptic plans) along with the offered information in braille and big characters make the visit an accessible experience for those with low vision but also interesting for the wide variety of publics.
