Please do touch is the idea behind an exhibition that brings Macau residents into the world of the blind.

Flying Beyond the Secrets of Darkness is on display at the Macau Museum of Art and features works by more than 125 children who took part in the museum's autumn art class.

It is aimed at giving young artists and visitors an insight into the world of the blind. It features more than 100 works of art and a sound tunnel that replicates what it would be like for vision-impaired people walking through the city.

The exhibition took several months to put together and is a joint effort of the museum's education department and Orbis, a non-profit organisation that aims to eliminate avoidable blindness.

A museum spokeswoman said the idea was to increase awareness about the problems associated with vision impairment and for people to experience what it would be like to be blind.
