Layman's description
"The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) provided £438,900 to fund the project after a need to improve access to heritage sites was identified within the heritage sector and organisations supporting blind and partially sighted people. Four museums and heritage sites took part in the project including:
- Canterbury City Council Museums including Canterbury Cathedral and Beaney House of Art and Knowledge
- Oxford University Museums and Collections including Museum of Natural History
- Portsmouth City Council’s Arthur Conan Doyle Collection, The Richard Lancelyn Green Bequest
- Sussex Archaeological Society, Lewes Castle" https://www.rnib.org.uk/rnib-business/sensing-culture
- Canterbury City Council Museums including Canterbury Cathedral and Beaney House of Art and Knowledge
- Oxford University Museums and Collections including Museum of Natural History
- Portsmouth City Council’s Arthur Conan Doyle Collection, The Richard Lancelyn Green Bequest
- Sussex Archaeological Society, Lewes Castle" https://www.rnib.org.uk/rnib-business/sensing-culture
Key findings
"Sensing Culture has become a springboard for discussion and learning for other heritage sites looking to undertake similar projects. It's put blind and partially sighted people high up on the agenda within the heritage sector and really embedded this audience in a new cultural approach." Helen Atwere, RNIB Senior Manager Specialist Operations.
