Tours for Special Audiences
To help make our collections, exhibitions, and grounds accessible to all visitors, Shelburne Museum has developed programming designed for audiences with special needs.
Art at Hand
Art at Hand tours allow visitors who are blind or visually impaired to explore Shelburne Museum with specially trained guides. Participants will visit a gallery space, hear detailed descriptions of works of art, and feel tactile pieces related to our collections. Art at Hand tours are scheduled on June 27, August 22, October 24, and December 12, 2013.
Tours are free, but pre-registration is required. Registrations are accepted by telephone or mail on a first-come, first-served basis. Register by phone by calling Angela Pratt at (802) 985-3346 x3393. Register by mail by downloading the registration form (PDF) and mailing it to:
