    A little treasure housed at the Polo Tattile Multimediale of Catania. It is the Haptic Museum Borges where every visitor is invited to make the tour by touch.

    Using this “sense” blind visitors discover the beauty of monuments, but the museum is a new experience also for the visitors that want to know a new way to appreciate art.

    Touch the Venus de Milo, some of the most important monuments in Catania or the models of the Temple of Agrigento which are kept in a constantly-growing gallery.

    But there is more, at the Polo Tattile Multimediale you can visit the dark bar. An experiment of integration based on a role reversal: the blind visitor is the “guide in the dark” of the sighted person. By reservation only, it is possible to try a new experience: the “dinner in the dark” in a room that has been prepared for that.
