Braille Museum

Since January of 2009, the Braille Museum offers the opportunity for young and old to discover the Braille writing system. Next to a biographical draft of Louis Braille (1809−1852) and his invention, the museum is partly dedicated to the modern-day technology and its applications in our daily life, as well as in scholastic and professional environments of people with a visual handicap. Furthermore, the museum exhibits a few relevant objects such as topographical books, old braille writing machines and portable printers. An adjacent room contains a dozen modules retracing Belgian history, to which visitors are encouraged discovering them by sensing and feeling the exhibited objects.
