ABSTRACT
This chapter will concentrate on the question of accessibility to museums for people with sight loss. It will dwell on advances in the field of audio description (AD) and other forms of access exploiting the senses of touch, smell and sound. The research conducted on AD in museum environments within the ADLAB PRO European project goes hand in hand with museum research and visitor studies. An important part of the above-mentioned project, designed primarily to create the profile of the professional audio describer in various contexts and provide a training curriculum to achieve that objective, is devoted to the AD of museums.
