I love what Guggenheim is doing!

Space Center Houston has done a number of virtual verbal descriptions group tours, under the umbrella of Distance Learnings. Most of these distance learning opportunities, including the tours, can be adapted for blind/low vision audiences, and many have. If you would like more information about Space Center Houston's BVI programming, I would love to chat with you.

Hi Ulli. My podcast, A Long Look, features detailed verbal descriptions of works of art. For the past three years, I've presented works at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC but this season, I'm doing a virtual road trip to other museums around the country. I also offer verbal description writing services. You can find the show at https://alonglookpodcast.com. I would be happy to connect!

Hi Karen,
Thanks for bringing your podcast to my attention. I listened to several of the verbal descriptions and liked them very much. I will forward this information to my group.
It is a great idea to use you experience  in a more easily available form.
Best,
Ulli
