MUSEUMS in Düsseldorf

As part of the guided tour for blind and visually impaired people - learning the art of ceramics by feeling - selected objects from the museum depot, replicas, but also exhibits are available to touch and feel, giving visitors an intensive impression of the ceramic diversity. The sense of smell and hearing are also challenged when smelling earthy-scented clay or hearing the bright sound of a wafer-thin porcelain cup
