Museum regular visitor Tim Robinson gets a whole new view.
Museum regular visitor Tim Robinson gets a whole new view. In an Australian first, colour blind visitors to the Chau Chak Wing Museum will be able to experience exhibitions in vibrant colour thanks to a partnership with EnChroma, creators of glasses for colour blindness. Tim Robinson was among the first to try the glasses in the museum. "I'm a regular visitor to the Museum and know lots of the works well. But I saw many of them in a completely new way for the first time - with different colours and depth and clarity. I have problems with blue and purple so the beach and sky in the paintings of Sydney Harbour, for example, were much more clearly defined." "But most impressive was revisiting the Museum's Egyptian Galleries again - I've always been fascinated by archaeology so it was fantastic to see the full range of colours. I wish I'd had these when I toured Egypt." David Eliovson said the glasses gave him a greater appreciation for the skill of artists.
