The exhibit area located on the Museum’s entrance level offers an unusual and stimulating museum experience and is also accessible to sight-impaired or blind visitors. A tactile path gives visually-impaired visitors autonomous access into the Mole Antonelliana and to the exhibit area. A panel outside the Museum’s entrance features a relief map and writing in Braille indicating the various services located on the Welcome Level.

The exhibit area with the tactile path is dedicated to the history of the Mole Antonelliana; it is located in an alcove along the building’s perimeter. Posters on the walls feature several of the building’s friezes; in the center, a wooden model of a cross section of the Mole Antonelliana (in scale 1:100), a full-size plaster cast of a head of the Gorgon Medusa and panels with visual-tactile drawings of the various construction phases of the building encourage tactile exploration.

Visitors can thus familiarize themselves with various types of materials and architectonic and decorative details of the Mole Antonelliana as they rediscover sensorial capabilities that aren’t normally  used to their full potential.
