This article describes the history of Museo Statale Tattile Omero (‘Homer’ State Tactile Museum) in Ancona, Italy. Its founder and current director presents the concept of the institution, focusing on the role of touch as a sense that enables contact with art not only to people with visual impairments but also those with regular vision. It creates new perspectives in the process of learning about the works of renowned masters, both ancient and contemporary. The collection of the ‘Homer’ museum is divided into sections devoted to architecture, ancient sculpture, contemporary artists, and facial expressions. All objects can be touched by visitors. The author of the article also highlights the extremely important social and culture-forming role of the museum. Throughout the nearly 30 years of its existence, it has not only set the accessibility standards in Italy, but also served as a model for many cultural institutions around the world.
