The Tactual Museum of Athens is one of 4-5 Museums of its kind in the world. The main difference between the Tactual Museum and other Museums is the opportunity for all visitors to touch all the Exhibits that are copies of the originals displayed in other museums of our country.
Tactual Museum was founded in 1984, and housed on a two-floor neo-classical building, on Doiranis Street 198, Kallithea, donated by Empeirikos to the Lighthouse for the Blind of Greece. After a 3-year period of enforced closure due to the earthquake of 1999, it opened again in 2004 following subsidies and sponsorship from the Ministry of Health and Social Solidarity and the American Friends of the Blind in Greece Organization, based in Massachusetts, USA.
