Church of Jeff

In Wroclaw, Poland each cathedral and even the rivers have a tactile model nearby for blind people to see them too. See more: themindcircle.com/mini-sculptu

Photo of a bronze casting of a cathedral in Wroclaw, Poland, for sight impaired individuals to be able to know what the building "looks" like.

@jeffowski Not just in Wrocław. I know of a few places in Bydgoszcz and Toruń that have the same thing

@jeffowski I love seeing the shiny spots - the towers, the roof ridges - revealing that the hand catches the same things that my eyes do.

@jeffowski Great!
Reminds me of the short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver, when a guy is trying to give a blind man a feel for a cathedral - just through words though, as far as I can remember.

@jeffowski Do they have models of parliament and music theatres too?

@jeffowski I’ve seen and touched something similar in Aachen.
