At the Arboretum Volčji Potok, a unique tactile exhibition of sculptures for the blind and visually impaired has been opened.

Volčji Potok, Friday, July 17, 2026, at 18:00, the opening of the unique multisensory tactile exhibition Multisensory Art, intended for the blind, visually impaired, and all visitors who wish to experience art in a different way.

The exhibition features five sculptures by artists from Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, which visitors will not only observe but will also be able to explore through touch. QR codes with audio presentations of the artworks and their authors are placed next to each sculpture, allowing for a more accessible and inclusive experience of art.

The European project Multisensory Art enjoys the support of the Arboretum Volčji Potok in its operations, one of the leading botanical institutions in Slovenia, which contributes to the development of multisensory experiences in nature with its expertise and space.

The project Multisensory Art, whose leading organization is the Faculty of Design from Slovenia and has been taking place in the three mentioned countries since 2024, was created to increase cultural accessibility for the blind and visually impaired and to encourage the development of innovative approaches in the field of inclusive art. The exhibition demonstrates that art can engage all senses – not just sight, but also touch, hearing, smell, and taste, and stimulates imagination and emotions.

The event was organized in collaboration with the Association of Blind and Visually Impaired Societies of Slovenia, which has been promoting equal access to cultural content for people with visual impairments for many years.

The project Multisensory Art is part of the Creative Europe program and is co-financed by the European Union, while in Slovenia it is also supported by the Ministry of the Interior and Public Administration of the Republic of Slovenia.
