An Inclusive Touch Station in the X-D-E-P-O-T
An inclusive Design Experience
Die Neue Sammlung has a new project:
an inclusive touch station.
Inclusive means:
Visitors with and without disabilities can use the touch station.
You can touch 17 selected objects with your hands.
These objects are set out on 2 touch tables.
There is also digital information about the objects.
This means that you can get the information
from screens that are movable.
You can choose
how you want to get the information:
• as a short text
• as an easy-to-read text
• as an audio description with a special headset
• as a video in German Sign Language
All information is also available in German.
You can get more information about the objects from:
pictures, texts, audio recordings, and videos.

What can you find at the touch station?
Die Neue Sammlung has collected many different objects.
Some of them you can touch at the touch station.
You can learn about
different ideas for design and different materials.
We want you to really experience the objects.
