In December last year, the Centre Pompidou (Paris) and US company EnChroma announced that EnChroma Colour Blind Glasses would be offered to anyone who required them, when visiting the celebrated French museum.
The collaboration was a first in France, enabling vision impaired visitors to have a full gallery experience. However, Pompidou was not the first to do so. The EnChroma Colour Accessibility Program has been introduced to nearly 200 public institutions globally (including libraries, schools and universities), with around 80 major museums offering the colour ‘correcting’ visitor experience.
