Next time you have a chance to visit the Tokyo National Museum (TNM) in Tokyo's Ueno district, before walking around that home to a vast and impressive collection of traditional Japanese paintings, sculptures and crafts, remember to make a quick stop in the room on the left of the foyer.
There, on what looks like a wooden dining table, you will find a universal-designed, tactile map that's a pleasure to behold.
The map, created by Tokyo-based designer Nao Saito and installed at the TNM in May, is indicative of the museum's efforts to reach out to blind and visually-impaired visitors.
