For schools

An exciting and unforgettable adventure for a school trip!

The Invisible Exhibition gave an excellent time for 13 000 elementary and high school children since the opening. We are genuinely proud of our blind tour guides, who make these trips truly unforgettable.

The Invisible Exhibition is more than just an interactive exhibition, it offers a special way of learning and experiencing. Our visitors can learn how to get by in everyday situations and settings in complete darkness, with the help of a vision-impaired guide. This experience is much more than just a blindfolded game, it is a complex, one-hour long tour where the “quizmaster”, the guide is partially or fully blind so they have to rely on their senses other than seeing. Mostly they get by in traffic, manage their everyday tasks, and maintain their household by relying on their senses of hearing and touching.

After moving on from the initial state of awe, the groups will realize that even though it is different, the life of blind people can be complete and beautiful.

While tackling the different situations, the visitors will need the help of the vision-impaired tour guides to get by. This could bolster the understanding of vision-impaired people’s real struggles and empathy towards them. Therefore in the future, when they encounter blind people on the streets, squares or any other public place they will be able to accurately assist them. They won’t be shy to address them, they won’t avoid awkwardly to use words in a conversation that are related to seeing, and so on.

The children’s community in the class could be strengthened by this experience, not only if they have a blind or vision-impaired classmate, but also if they approach this experience collectively. 

Trial tour for elementary and high school teachers:

We are offering trial-tours for teachers to evaluate what kind of knowledge and experience their students could gain by visiting our exhibition. If you wish to use this opportunity, please request a visit via email (info@lathatatlan.hu). At one time four teachers can participate in the trial tour from one school.

For students and teachers, we provide special discounts! We offer cheaper tickets for student cardholders and for groups larger 20 people.

Additional information and suggestions about the programme:

It is advised to create groups of 8 or 10 before arriving at the venue, and start preparing for the visit in the classroom already.

Collect questions! It is interesting to think about questions such as how blind people dream, what colours mean to them or how do they manage in the traffic.

The length of the programme depends on the number of visitors. 8 to 10 people can enter the exhibition in one tour, and tours start every fifteen minutes. The length of the tour is one hour, thus the easiest way to calculate the end of the programme is to add an hour to the last reserved appointment. It is advised to count with an extra 15-20 minutes because this is the amount of time that larger groups need to pack their belongings to the safety deposit lockers.

Collaboration:

Provided that your institution is in a beehive or a public square, a bus stop or main roads are nearby we are open for collaborations! In exchange for displaying the exhibition’s Molino on the institution, we allow for 20 people to enter the exhibition for free.
