Abstract

In July 1989 the Association Art Visuel International des Sourds (International Association of Visual Art for the Deaf) was founded in France for the purpose of setting up a three-year training course for the deaf in the history of art. Supported by the Musee du Louvre, the Direction des Musees de France, the Fondation Credit Lyonnais and the municipality of Paris, the association has broken new ground in opening up the world of museums to deaf visitors. The author was one of the guiding spirits behind this initiative, the first of its kind in the world.
