Invisible Exhibition

Imagine that all the lights go out…
The Invisible Exhibition in Budapest is a special interactive journey to an invisible world where you can try to get on only through your senses of touch, hearing and smell.
If you come to see the exhibition, you will be able to understand how it feels to live without one of your most informative senses, your sight, and how your other senses become sharper at the same time. During this exhibition, blind people or people with visual impairment accompany you on a journey that will change your life.The invisible journey takes place with the help of a blind guide in specifically furnished and completely darkened locations, where realistic experiences are ensured by unique sound effects and fragrances that are characteristic of those locations.  Participation is possible in groups in every 15 minutes.

We show you different situations in life, where you can experience how to cope with traffic in the city, how to pay for your coffee in a bar or how to choose the spices for your lunch…
At another location of the exhibition we demonstrate you the tools and articles that blind people use day by day.
