[The Art Institute of Chicago](http://www.artic.edu/?ref=protein.xyz) is using an innovative new method to let blind and visually impaired visitors experience art. Designed by [Helen Maria Nugent](http://www.artic.edu/saic/about/why/prof%5Fhnugent.html?ref=protein.xyz), [TacTiles](http://www.artknowledgenews.com/TacTiles-TouchArtGallery-Bind-Can-See-ArtBraille-Art-Institute-of-Chicago.html?ref=protein.xyz) are plastic bas-reliefs of paintings which reproduce the 'visual texture' of paintings physically. *(can't find much more info or any pictures of these, but I'll keep a lookout ...)*
