The Guggenheim Museum strives to create an inclusive environment for all visitors. Staff members are always available to answer visitor questions about accessibility. Please direct your questions to the staff at the information desk, to the left as you enter the museum, or to one of the museum’s Gallery Guides, educators posted throughout the galleries wearing colorful scarves or ties and blue or orange buttons that read, “Ask Me about the Art.” Gallery Guides are trained to provide verbal imaging descriptions for visitors who are blind or have low vision.

Mind’s Eye programs, offered on the first Monday and second Wednesday of every month, provide an opportunity for visitors who are blind or have low vision to explore the museum’s exhibitions, collections, and architecture through communication and sensory tools particular to their experience. Conducted through verbal imaging and touch, tours and workshops are led by arts and education professionals who facilitate shared observation, discussion, and creative practice. Free, RSVP required one week before program date. To RSVP and to receive program notifications, email [email protected] or call 212-360-4355.
