PARTICIPATE: Activate the Senses
Overview
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to discover art in new ways? PARTICIPATE invites visitors to immerse themselves in a combination of tactile and digital experiences that engage various senses—sight, hearing, touch, and smell. Listen to the whistle of an ancient vessel, feel the beadwork of a ceremonial belt, smell the food in a still life painting, and more.
A virtual tour in American Sign Language and audio descriptions of each artwork and sensory station are available.
