English tours
Information for our international visitors
What is it like to be blind or partially sighted? During a visit to muZIEum (muSEEum) you will experience it yourself. Enter a world in which your other senses - hearing, smell, touch and taste - suddenly play a far more important role than you are used to.
The muZIEum is not a museum where you admire objects on display. You are an important part of the experience yourself. We offer two different tours in absolute darkness. Our tour guides are blind or partially sighted and are happy to tell you more about living with sight loss.
Tour in absolute darkness
During this tour you will experience what life would be like if you were blind. In a pitch black room you will literally see nothing. We offer two different tours in absolute darkness. During the 'A day in the life of…' tour, our guide shows you the everyday life of someone who is blind and tells you about their experiences. You can also choose to immerse yourself in the vacation atmosphere during the 'On a city trip with…' tour, of course all without sight.

Kraak en Smaak: blind tasting
Does your food taste different when you can't see what you're eating?
Find out during Kraak and Smaak.
A tasting where you feel, smell and taste blind.
Do you know what it is? And what makes it so different when you can't see what you're eating?
If you are blind or visually impaired, you cannot see (properly) what you are eating or drinking. Using your other senses become extra important. By tasting, smelling, feeling you can find out what you put in your mouth.
Would you like to experience what it is like to eat and drink without sight? Then book this tasting with your experience.
The tasting includes one non-alcoholic drink and three sweet or salty surprises. This activity is fun for all ages and requires a minimun of two people to start.
- You can arrange this tasting yourself after your experience (note: muZIEum closes its doors at 5 p.m.)
- Book the package in advance or during your visit at the counter or in the muZIEum-café
