Visually impaired visitors touch with their hands a model depicting reliefs of the Parthenon at Typhlological Museum in Madrid on August 6, 2024. The Madrid Typhlological Museum -- from the Greek "tuphlos" meaning blind -- houses 37 reproductions of global monuments that are listed as world heritage sites. It was set up in 1992 by ONCE, Spain's powerful national organisation for the blind which has 71,000 members. Made of wood, stone, metal or resin, the models are accessible to all visitors -- whether blind, sighted or partially sighted -- giving them a hands-on, sensory experience of the architecture.
