The lifeblood of museum exhibits is visitors. The disabled are a
category of visitors whose demands are different from those of
the majority of other visitors, and therefore deserve special
attention. According to the World Health Organization, anyone
who has a limitation or lack of ability to execute an activity in the
manner or within the range regarded normal for a human being
may be referred to as being "disabled." People with disabilities
should have access to museums and galleries, and their
requirements should be properly taken into account in many
different contexts.
Nowadays, the majority of museums all over the wold focus on
"handicapped" people with disabilities and their needs, while few
focus on visually impaired people.
The goal of this paper is to support the social rehabilitation of
blind and visually impaired persons by making them feel
confident museum visitors and by providing them with the
chance to comprehend their museum tour more fully.
Accordingly, this paper will show that the blind person has been
given abilities by the all-powerful God, but if he desires it and
has the motivation to do so, he can invest these abilities to enable
him to live independently without the need for anyone else.
However, this is only possible when the society makes him feel
like a member of it by involving him in the community. How
many healthy individuals lack the drive, imagination, and
productivity that those who are blind do?
Making Egyptian Museums more accessible for blind or visually
impaired visitors is a desired goal. Encourage them to visit the
museum without a help from anybody through designing a
special lane “Tactile Paving". This demonstrates that our ability
to produce in life is ultimately determined by our inner
intelligence, psychology, soul, and inner strength, not by any
physical limitations or external factors.
