Museo Tiflologico is among the most unconventional museums in Spain. It is the only museum in the country and one of the few in the world that are designated for the needs of blind and visually handicapped people. It was established in 1992 and is now run by the Spanish National Organisation for the Blind. The museum is divided into three areas – scale models of monuments, a room with works of blind artists and a permanent exhibition room. All exhibits are created to be explored by touching and the visitors are facilitated by audiotapes in English and Spanish, as well as by pamphlets in large type and Braille.
