I’ve never heard a blind person demand that all paintings get narrated. I’ve heard them get real excited when it does happen, which is super nice, but the common expectation is (in my experience) and probably should be, you aren’t able to experience everything. So just enjoy the things you can instead.
I worked as a guide at a rather large museum. We would frequently have various ‘disability friendly tours’. One of em was for blind people (i took them almost exclusively to multimedia or otherwise sound, touch, smell based works unless specifically asked don’t worry).
NEVER have i encountered someone upset that the art was not made available for them. Simply never was an issue. At all. And considering this was a 20 people pr group, many tours a day for years thing, i must’ve had well over a thousand people through. Never been an issue.
i feel that.
