Today is museum selfie day!
Share a photo of yourself at one of your favorite museums. And add a picture description (or alt text) to make it accessible.
I have been fortunate to visit the Louis Braille museum several times. I always have perma grin when I am in Coupvray.
To plan your trip to the museum, check out their Wiki page. It describes how to get there from Paris, photos highlighting the collection and what else to experience in the village of Coupvray, like visiting Louis Braille’s grave.
Wikipedia page for the Louis Braille museum:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_Louis_Braille
Save this for later!

Does your TV remote have braille, so that you can use it independently?
Or does it have different shaped buttons for the high use functions?
What is your favorite show at the moment?
