What is the place of hand sanitizer in a museum when all you are constantly reminded is to not touch the exhibits? But till June 28, the Prado Museum in Madrid will keep those at hand. For visitors – those with sight and the blind – are encouraged to feel their way around duplicated 3-D works of the likes of Francisco Goya (regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns), Diego Velazquez (of the Spanish Golden Age) and even one painted by Leonardo da Vinci’s assistant. And those gifted with sight can don opaque glasses and be guided by their hands. Isn’t there more than just one way to see art?
