Breaking the stereotypical attitude towards people with disabilities, Museum in the Dark “Third after midnight” is the first museum in Ukraine, where tours are held in the dark accompanied by blind guides. The team consists of 7 guides who conducted tours for more than 32 thousand people. The goal of the museum is also to break down barriers to communication, to increase the level of employment of the blind and the level of accessibility of art.
