Tactile Museum of Natural History
Sensory Safari
“A journey of sight through touch”
An exciting partnership of the Northwest Chapter of Safari Club
International, Washington State School for the Blind, Washington
School for the Blind Foundation, with special collaboration
and involvement from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has brought
this new museum to Southwest Washington.
A unique opportunity
in the form of a rare wildlife safari through the sense of
touch, called the “Sensory Safari” Tactile Museum of Natural
History, brings a new world of discovery not only to the blind, but
to our full community. All
animals are donated to
enhance the education of
wildlife conservation and
are on permanent display
providing a unique way to
see wildlife through the
sense of touch.
The Tactile Museum of
Natural History’s permanent
display located on the
Washington State School
for the Blind (WSSB)
campus at 2214 E. 13th St., Vancouver, Wash., is a one-of-a
kind museum within the U.S. which incorporates sense of touch,
Braille, large print and audio to provide an invigorating learning
environment that can be enjoyed by all individuals.
