Audiodeskrypcja dzieł sztuki jako wsparcie osób niewidomych i słabowidzących w przestrzeni muzealnej
Audio description of works of art as a support for the blind and visually impaired in the museum space

Summary/Abstract: Audio description (AD) is a verbal description of visual content, presented phonetically to the blind and visually impaired. AD enables people with visual impairment to perceive visual content (eg paintings, sculptures, installations, films, theatrical and sports performances). Audio description, as a technique, while used to present visual arts to people with visual impairments, plays a significant role in the process of making collections of cultural institutions around the world, available to the widest possible audience. The article focuses on the role of audio description in providing blind and partially sighted people access to museum collections. It also discusses the principles of creating such descriptions, as well as maximizing their impact through cooperation with other (multisensory) ways of assistance available in museums, e.g. typhlographies.
