Exhibitions and Programs


Main Gallery

The main gallery at the Callahan Museum explores the history of education for the blind in a fun and accessible setting.

The gallery is full of hands-on discovery. We encourage you to touch objects to increase your understanding of how people with visual impairments experience the world. Write your name using a mechanical braille writer. Wrap your arms around a floor model tactile globe. Test your comprehension skills on computers equipped with talking software. Explore other raised letter and tactile alphabets that competed with braille. Experience what it is like to have a wealth of knowledge at the tips of your fingers.
