Touchy subject: Kremlin to display tactile models of famous monuments

Tactile 3D models of famous Moscow sights are set to be installed at the Kremlin, allowing blind and visually impaired visitors to engage with the monuments.

According to Russian news site Afisha, by the end of the year there will be tactile models of the Tsar Cannon, the Tsar Bell, the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, and the Arkhangelsk, Annunciation and Dormition Cathedrals.

The replicas, made of bronze and ranging between 25 and 40 centimetres in height, will be set directly in front of the original monuments, with descriptions available in Russian, English and Braille.
