The Dot Experience: A Museum Designed for Everyone
Wednesday 28th October, 2026
Solid Light and the American Printing House for the Blind opened The Dot Experience, a museum built around a simple, distinctive invitation: please do touch. Visitors can explore stories and objects through sight, sound and touch, with disabled community members involved in testing and shaping the experience.
Why it worked: It flipped museum etiquette with a “please do touch” rule, evidenced by user-tested design changes and rare tactile access to icons.
The lesson: Consider pitching a counter-rule experience backed by participatory testing, then prove it with one striking, measurable design change.
