"Experience a hands-on adventure at the city museum: offering guided tours tailored for the blind and visually impaired"

The Halle (Saale) City Museum is inviting everyone to join a special guided tour on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 5 PM. This unique event, titled "Play Along - Hands-On", is part of the ongoing exhibition "Halle's Playful City Stories".

This innovative interactive tour offers an immersive exploration into the world of gaming culture, spanning from tin figures to contemporary digital games. The tour is designed to be accessible to all, including blind and visually impaired individuals, thanks to its touchable exhibits.

The tour fee is 2 euros for all participants, in addition to the museum admission fee. Adults pay 5 euros for entry, while reduced admission is available at 3 euros. A delightful surprise for children and youth under 14, as they can enter the museum free of charge.

The idea for "Play Along - Hands-On" was developed through a cooperative, interdisciplinary, and experimental framework, involving design and art practices focused on collective creativity and hands-on engagement. This approach mirrors organisations like Assemble, which integrate art, architecture, and social collaboration. Although the specific personal or institutional backgrounds of the creators of this project at the Halle City Museum were not detailed, it is likely that creative professionals and educators with a focus on participatory, experimental cultural experiences were involved.
