    The primary audience of the project is museum specialists who are trained on disability issues, and the final target audience is people with disabilities who are getting better opportunities of participating in museum activities.

In 2019, we focuced on the work with deaf and hard of hearing visitors, in the middle of 2020 – we will work with blind and visually impaired people. All these areas continue to develop and support by team and partners.
