It is an inclusive exhibition that provides touchable images, Braille foot notes, visual aids and audio description for the visually impaired visitors.

On the most profound level, is the memory of the artist's way of looking at the world. The truth of this is confirmed by the fact that we can often recall the experience of a work, having forgotten both its precise subject and its precise formal arrangement."
