[ti:Dutch Museum Has Art Show for People with Vision Issues] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:01.08]The Utrecht Central Museum in The Netherlands [00:04.72]offered an unusual art exhibit this month. [00:08.92]Called The Blind Spot, visitors could look at artworks as expected. [00:15.56]But, they could also touch and smell them. [00:19.84]The show was designed to provide a better experience [00:24.12]for museumgoers with poor eyesight. [00:27.72]The creators made copies of famous paintings [00:31.84]and added representative elements that could be heard or smelled. [00:37.48]Visitors could even get a "feel" for the art, [00:41.48]which included touchable elements. [00:44.44]Visitor Farid el Manssouri seemed to enjoy his experience. [00:50.40]He smiled as he moved his hands over cheese, grapes and bread, [00:56.00]part of the representation of a famous 1610 painting by Floris van Dyck. [01:04.40]"The first thing that struck me was the smell," el Manssouri said. [01:09.24]"I could really smell the cheese, and I touched it too." [01:14.52]El Manssouri wondered how the food [01:16.96]did not fall from its unbalanced position. [01:20.68]"That was really surprising to feel ... [01:23.40]I guess it was glued on pretty well," el Manssouri said. [01:27.84]Artist Jasper Udink ten Cate [01:31.28]and designer Jeroen Prins created The Blind Spot. [01:36.76]They said they were inspired by an experience they shared [01:41.08]with a blind visitor at a past art show. [01:45.08]They had provided food to go along with an artwork at the show. [01:50.56]The blind visitor was very moved by that, they said. [01:55.48]"That moment was the starting point," ten Cate said. [02:00.44]Steffie Maas is the museum's head of inclusivity. [02:05.48]She said The Blind Spot was an experiment [02:09.08]on the way to more such improvements. [02:12.24]Visitor Bas Suurland also praised The Blind Spot, [02:17.12]calling the experience "quite unique in the Netherlands." [02:21.84]I'm John Russell. [02:24.04]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
