Today we're talking with Dr. Cheryl Fogle-Hatch, founder of MuseumSenses LLC, a consulting firm that helps museums develop multi-sensory exhibits for everyone, regardless of their visual acuity. Creating exhibit content with tactile and audio components engages blind people with history, the arts, and sciences. Exposing sighted people to tactile and audio content creates an integrated experience for all visitors.

Dr. Fogle-Hatch works with historic sites to improve their tactile experiences. Projects include:

• The Please Touch tour at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum in Morristown New Jersey

• Revolutionary Anthology: Power of Place exhibit at Fort Ticonderoga, New York

• Making History Accessible: Toolkit for Multisensory Interpretation, a digital publication produced by the Intrepid Museum and the NYU Ability Project.
