MUSEO NACIONAL DE COLOMBIA

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA

This Master Plan for an inclusive educational program addresses everyone, including children, visitors
in wheelchairs or visually impaired.

The added museography blends into
the Spanish Colonial architecture.
The multisensory itinerary allows for an autonomous visit within the general visit, highlighting typical examples of each period. The program extends to portraits: tactile drawings introduce the subjects, and audio commentaries describe them within their historic context.
