– Had there been a little bigger writing here, we would have stopped crawling through the exhibition. That’s what Terje Andr\u00e9 Olsen, who is the leader of the Norwegian Association of the Blind, says. He is on all fours in the fashion department of the National Museum. It is dark there, and the explanatory texts for the various works are almost at ground level. The small, discreet font does not take the attention away from the art, but is instead difficult to read for those with poor eyesight. Terje Andr\u00e9 Olsen believes that the visually impaired have the right to enjoy art.

But in order to be able to read the signs that guide the audience through the exhibition, Olsen must stand right next to the wall. How can a visually impaired person who is unable to read find his way here? – I do not know. Then you are dependent on having someone who follows you around, Olsen says. The fashion exhibition at the National Museum is difficult for the visually impaired to see. Photo: Wenche Marie H\u00e6tta Some people may be surprised that blind and partially sighted people want to go to a museum, what do you think about that? – Museum will give us an impression of the history we have. That story has also been full of blind and partially sighted people. We have the same interest and the same right to know the history and the things that have characterized it, Olsen says. The National Museum will look at input Eirik Kydland is communications director at the National Museum. He thinks it is “very important” that the National Museum is accessible to everyone. – Therefore, we are very happy to be made aware of things that can be improved, and that we have unions that are committed and follow, he says. Communications Director Eirik Kydland is pleased to have been informed of this. Photo: Rune Mortensen Kydland emphasizes that the National Museum must look at all the input. – We continue the dialogue with the unions, and will do this as well as possible in the future, he says. In her opening speech, Queen Sonja said that the National Museum should be a house for everyone. To that, Olsen says: – It is not a house for everyone yet, but I have high hopes that it can be.
