RAI and the Uffizi Galleries: New Forms of Museum Accessibility
summary
The presentation describes a collaboration between RAI (Rai Pubblica Utilità) and the Gallerie degli Uffizi to make the virtual exhibition “A riveder le stelle. Dante Istoriato” (92 Federico Zuccari plates) accessible: the plates were published on the Uffizi website in Ipervisione and RAI produced audio descriptions included both in the virtual visit and on Rai Easy Web. The project treats audio description as an accessibility and interpretive tool for visitors with visual impairments and for all users, and the session explains how the digital workflow and integration with onsite museum practice were developed as a potential new model for cultural accessibility.
