It happens: Visitors experience life without vision at dark village museum in Gujarat
Ahmedabad, April 15 (ANI): A village museum in Ahmedabad offers an insight into the lives of the visually impaired people. Completely dark, the visitors can't roam around the specially recreated village without the help of the visually impaired people who act as guides. Opened recently, the village-themed pavilion with thatched roof huts, trees, bullock carts, well and a temple with sculptures of gods and goddesses is designed to give lifetime experience to normal people to live life in complete darkness.The visitors are left to explore the village for 15 minutes. An Italian architect Paola Manzo, who has extended her support to the Blind People's Association (BPA) in this project, described it as another world of blindness. Visitors were amazed as they could relate themselves with the people without vision.
