Celebrating the Opening of The Dot Experience

PAC was proud to celebrate the opening of The Dot Experience at the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) in Louisville, Kentucky.

The opening marks the culmination of years of collaboration, prototyping, and inclusive design. PAC worked alongside APH, Solid Light, and a broad community of partners to help create a museum that puts accessibility, autonomy, and shared discovery at the center of the visitor experience.

The Dot Experience celebrates the lives and contributions of blind and low vision people while expanding expectations for what an inclusive museum can be. Through PAC's inclusive design methodology, accessibility was integrated throughout the design process, informed by the expertise and lived experiences of community members, prototypers, storytellers, and project partners.

We are grateful to APH and Solid Light for their trust, creativity, and commitment to inclusion throughout this journey, and to everyone who helped bring the museum to life. We hope The Dot Experience inspires museums and cultural institutions far beyond Louisville to rethink what is possible when inclusion guides design from the beginning.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this remarkable project!
