- Abstract
Museums are plural and educational spaces that enable the expansion of knowledge, based on the relationship and reflection between artistic and cultural elements. However, even though techniques and resources have emerged or improved in the construction of artistic products, barriers in various dimensions (architectural, communicational, methodological, instrumental and attitudinal) remain in several museological institutions in Brazil and in the world, which make it difficult to welcome people with diverse skills and abilities. Seeking to break with these practices, professionals from different areas of knowledge are recognizing design as a means to promote inclusion and accessibility for people with and without disabilities, offering them autonomy and the opportunity to be part of the entire process of designing solutions that benefit their own lives. For this, this study associated the principles of participatory design and user-centered design, action research as a method to investigate the obstacles of cultural accessibility and carry out an intervention, through the prototyping and validation of multisensory artifacts, which would enable people to visually impaired assimilate pieces from the collection of a Natural History and Archeology Museum and Research Center in São Luís - MA. The study resulted in the participatory development of four tactile prototypes, digitally modeled and reproduced through 3D printing, and in the creation of an application to reproduce the audio description of these artifacts.
