The New Mexico Museum of Space History has recently begun a project to make themselves more user friendly for the blind and visually impaired.

The initial part of the project included a week long camp for visually impaired students to learn more about astronomy. Borrowing and creating models, the museum let students feel miniature versions of various stars and systems to help them understand the scope of what is out there.

The museum plans to expand their offerings to ensure visually impaired visitors are able to fully experience what their exhibits.
