The Honkan's Tactile Map

触知図
・In the educational space in Room 19 on the first floor of the Honkan, there is a tactile map of the Honkan that visitors use by feeling with their hands.

It is also suitable to be used by visually impaired visitors.
The map is further introduced in an entry on the museum’s blog, "Touch and Enjoy: Debut of the Honkan’s Tactile Map"(in Japanese)
