Italy is full of incredible museums but the majority of them are formal spaces in which the museum experience is very much the same: visitors keep their distance, they stay behind lines and ropes, and they never touch artworks. However, there is one museum where the exact opposite is true. In fact, in this museum, the whole point is to feel the works of art and to have a completely different experience with them and the visit to the museum, in general. A must for those interested in art and those intrigued by different museum experiences, and especially for those who might be visually impaired or completely blind, the Museo Tattile Statale Omero, or State Tactile Museum Omero, is an incredibly unique gem in Italy’s Le Marche region. Those who find a vacation rental in Le Marche should definitely make a point of planning a visit!

Located in the Mole Vanvitelliana, a historic building and former hospital for those with leprosy built on a small artificial island in the port of the city of Ancona, the Museo Omero is one of a very small number of places in the world where visitors are encouraged to engage with works of art with their sense of touch rather than their sense of sight. The roots of the museum date back to 1985, when Aldo Grassini and his wife Daniela Bottegoni, a pair of non-sighted travellers and adventurers, became exasperated with the constant refrain of, “Do not touch,” in other museums around the globe. They wanted, instead, to create a rather different kind of museum that would be the exact opposite of this and accessible to all. After establishing a foundation, fundraising, and filling out endless applications, they were able to finally make this dream of theirs a reality.
