Mind’s Eye: Programs for Visitors who are Partially Sighted
or Blind

Mind’s Eye programs, offered on the first Monday and second Wednesday of every month, provide an opportunity for visitors with low vision or blindness to explore the museum’s exhibitions, collections, and architecture through communication and sensory tools particular to their experience. Conducted through verbal imaging and touch, tours and workshops are led by arts and education professionals who facilitate shared observation, discussion, and creative practice.

The Guggenheim Museum aims to create an inclusive environment for all visitors. Staff members are always available to answer visitor questions about accessibility. Please direct your questions to the staff at the information desk, to the left as you enter the museum, or to one of the museum's Gallery Guides, dressed all in black with big, orange "information" buttons, who are posted throughout the galleries. Gallery Guides are trained to provide Verbal Imaging descriptions for visitors with low vision or blindness. Assistive listening devices are used during daily Educator’s Eye tours at 11 am and 1 pm.
