Remote Vibrant Verbal Description Tour: The Swiss Grid

Thursday, Jul 16, 2020
4:30–6pm

Every month, Poster House offers Vibrant Verbal Description Tours specifically for the low vision and blind community. Explore one of the museum’s shows with an experienced educator trained in the art of verbal description and learn more about the history of printed posters.

Due to the current public health crisis surrounding COVID-19, we’re bringing our description tours online through teleconference. These tours are led by our Chief Curator, allowing you intimate access to the items in our current shows.

This tour will focus on The Swiss Grid, an exhibition currently on display at the museum which features the parred-down, geometry-based designs of the 1950s.

Please email access@posterhouse.org or call 917.722.2439 x413 by July 14 to sign up for this event. You will be emailed poster images for reference as well as information about accessing the teleconference the morning of the virtual tour.

Tours start promptly and will last approximately 90 minutes with questions.

For a complete list of our Access Tours, click the Access filter at the top of our Events page, call 917.722.2439 x413 or email access@posterhouse.org. Poster House will also strive to accommodate any outside accessibility tour requests given two week’s notice.
