TACTILE MODELS AND MULTISENSORY OFFERINGS
The MMK has been developing tactile models of artworks for the current exhibitions since 2022. These open up haptic access to selected artworks for visually impaired and blind people, thus broadening participation.
Especially for the exhibition, the artist Rosemarie Trockel developed a ceramic object called Pierre de Touch, which can be experienced and felt during the public guided tour MMK beschreibt. In addition, for the Rosemarie Trockel exhibition, freelance artist Simon Gilmer, in collaboration with the Art Education department, created a tactile model for the Ceramic Challenge of 2021.
The white ceramic sculpture consists of a square base from which four smaller, also square elements have been cut out. In the circular center of these are elements in the shape of fans, which stand out from the background due to their darker shading. (Alternative text)
Based on these initial experiences, new ways of multisensory and barrier-free art education will be further developed from 2023 together with Fabian-Lilian Korner from the perspective of a blind person.
ACCOMPANYING BOOKLET IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
Since 2020, the MMK, together with Marlene Seifert of Schriftgut - Text und Konzeption and after review by Mensch zuerst - Netzwerk People First Deutschland e.V., has published all exhibition booklets in plain language. The booklet in plain language is available free of charge at the cashier desk and on the website under the menu item Exhibitions as a PDF download. It serves as a central mediation medium for visitors and enables further access to the content of artworks and exhibitions. This opens up new ways of barrier-free access to the topics, contexts and questions of the exhibitions in an independent way. The booklet in plain language as well as the inclusive guided tour formats offered by the MMK lead to more cultural participation.
ELIF - EINFACH LERNEN IN FRANKFURT

AUDIO DESCRIPTIONS
Since the exhibition Crip Time at the MUSEUMMMK, audio descriptions in German and English have been produced for selected works in each exhibition. The aim is to enable people with visual impairments and blind people to access the works independently. In addition to detailed descriptions of the artworks, they contain further information about the works and artists. Some of the works are accompanied by statements from the artists that provide insight into specific aspects of their work.
The audio descriptions were written by Mike Bill and Vivien Kämpf.
