Museum sounds

Antonio Chávez, a musician, has recorded in the museum for his sound atlas. He has only 20% vision and is picking up the sounds in different scenarios. Soon this work will be broadcast on Spanish television TVE 2 in the program «De Seda y Hierro».

The museum will offer this sound recording for blind visitors.
Thank you, Antonio
