Abstract
China has the most significant number of visually impaired people globally, and the disease is increasing every year. With China's urbanization and steady economic development, people with visual disabilities' basic living needs can be solved through government security policies. However, only a few long-term museums, art galleries, and public art space resources can provide them with art appreciation. Challenging to touch the art and challenging to access exhibition halls always restrict the equal rights of disabled people to pursue art sharing. This paper aims to study how the adaptability of barrier-free design methods can meet the needs of blind and visually impaired people to participate in art exhibitions. Finally, implement the design scheme, combined with the experience of modern design multi-sensory art exhibition, and explore a movable presentation form of blind art space exhibition. A movable art exhibition, which goes deep into urban communities, rural suburbs, or places with inconvenient transportation. The exhibition space and exhibits are mainly tactile, supplemented by hearing and vision. It aims to provide more possibilities for visually impaired people to participate in art exhibitions and provide new ideas for barrier-free design for museums, art galleries, and public art spaces in China. Provide more opportunities for the visually impaired to participate in social and public activities, promote exchanges and interactions between healthy people, and promote diversified and inclusive social and cultural development.
