HOMER MUSEUM

Created to promote the integration of the blind and visually impaired and a multi-sensory experience of art, the Museo Omero is one of the few tactile museums in world, where visitors can learn about art through touch, in other words: see art through their fingertips.

Founded in 1985 by Aldo Grassini and Daniela Bottegon, the Museum was inaugurated on December 2nd, 1993 in a wing of the Donatello middle school. In the summer of 2012, the Museum moved to its present location, the Mole Vanvitelliana.

The Museum, a 3D encyclopedia of art history, features casts from original ancient Greek masterpieces, sculptures by Michelangelo and Canova, and works of art by contemporary artists, such as De Chirico, Marini, Martina, Messina, Pistoletto, and many others.

The collections are divided into 4 main rooms:
