In this last week or so I have been traveling around London visiting museums and collecting information. It has definitely been an experience! Between getting caught in the rain, running into some very interesting people and in general, the sensory overload of these museums themselves, I have had a lot to take in. I really have enjoyed it though and I'm glad I chose London over some of the other European cities that were possible research locations.
I am still in the process of setting up a meeting time for a Touch Tour with the Tate Modern. I am definitely looking forward to that experience in the coming week though. I will also be meeting again with a local art student that I met, just to examine ideas with her and discuss the London art scene and all of that. I plan also to begin the arduous journey of exploring the British Museum this coming week. It is the biggest and farthest away of all the major galleries and museums here in London, but, with that I hope to uncover the most helpful information. Also, I am finding that the Tate Archives have interesting possibilities for gather information. Further research that I have begun is looking at the artistic side of "Art for the Visually Impaired" in which, I am assessing the qualities and attributes that work well for individual pieces of art in respect to their non-visual sensory stimulation.
