“Dialogue in the Dark” provides visitors with an insight into the world of the blind. The guides, who themselves are either visually impaired or completely blind, open visitors’ eyes to the world of the blind. Visitors go through a park, street and shuk in absolute darkness. At the end of the visit, they gather for a conversation (still held in the dark), with their blind guide. The conversation deals with issues such as disability, coping, senses, and life in general. The museum, which employs some 30 blind guides, is the largest employer of blind people in Israel. The tour is open to groups and families age 9 years and above. Also, to adults without children! Tours can be in English, depending on the availability of English-speaking guides.

“Invitation to Silence” is an unusual communication journey guided by the deaf. In this exhibition, one hears nothing, yet the talking doesn’t cease. One learns that you can hear through your eyes, and speak using your hands. Visitors discover a new way of communicating, through hand movements and body language. The deaf guides, for whom sign language is their main, and sometimes only, communication channel, help visitors discover the non-verbal communication skills that we all have. This exhibition is a unique opportunity for a dialogue between hearing and deaf people, helping visitors break through emotional barriers, prejudices and stereotypes. It is open to groups and families age 9 years and above. Also, to adults without children! Tours can be in English, depending on the availability of English-speaking guides.
