As more of us consider travelling this year for some much needed holidays in a warmer climate. You might want to experience some art and culture whilst you are away.\n
\nSo today, we're going to take a look at 'Double Meaning', a tactile tour program available at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.\n
\nRNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew spoke with Valeria Bottalico, who curated the project since its inception in 2015, to find out more about the tour and the adjoining workshops lead by a visually impaired artist.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation\u2019s programs for visitors who are blind or have low vision are supported by Ornellaia.
