An object handling workshop for blind and partially sighted people using 3D replica objects.

In this workshop, visitors will explore Leeds City Museum's collection using 3D printed versions of objects usually held behind glass cases.

With opportunities to discuss these objects and their histories with a facilitator, visitors will also consider how these objects differ from their original forms, materials and sizes, and how this might impact our understanding of them.
