Mounted Pig
-
Description
A young blind boy is sitting on a mounted pig at Sunderland Museum. They were invited to come to some handling sessions to help them 'see' through touch. “To them, their fingers are eyes” From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organised several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was ‘eagerly accepted’.
