For a century or so, museums in European and North American countries have dedicated themselves to the democratization of culture. As part of this commitment, museums have been making tremendous efforts in developing perpetual learning programs that are appealing to diverse visitors, including creating a more accessible and friendly environment to visitors of special needs. Inspired and influenced by this tradition through both research and hands-on experience of professional practice, Taiwan’s museum communities have, in the past decades, gradually adopted this new paradigm. “Providing equal access to all” has become the underlying philosophy that informs museum practice and education of the present century, with the exception of art museums. Art museums have been traditionally regarded as a palace for exhibiting visual arts. Whenever visiting the art museum, the general public is often warned off from ever touching or getting anywhere near the exhibited works. Such conventions eventually give rise to the widely held stereotype of the art museum as an aloof, unwelcoming institution. As far as the blind or visually impaired individuals are concerned, this kind of art museums has hardly ever opens to them. This research lays out an overview of the types of services for the blind and visually impaired provided by art museums both domestically and internationally. It also shares the first-hand experience of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NAMoFA), which has been designated by the Ministry of Culture as the demonstration museum for the blind and visually impaired. It documents how, in the last three years, NAMoFA has overcome the challenges its limits such as budget constraints and museum spatial planning, in its ongoing efforts to engineer a Non-Visual Exploration Project—a practical program in a realistic project-setting aiming at providing facilities and services to make the art museum accessible and friendly to blind and visually impaired visitors.
