Museum guests who are red-green colour blind can now borrow special EnChroma glasses from the Chau Chak Wing Museum and experience exhibitions for example the vast array of blue hues in theCoastlines exhibition in clear, vibrant colour for the first time.

The accessibility of art and design is always top of mind at the Chau Chak Wing Museum and we are very pleased to be the first venue in Australia to offer this technology through EnChromas Colour Accessibility Program, said DrPaul Donnelly, Deputy Director of the Museum.

This partnership is another important step forward in our inclusivity goals, helping people who are colour blind to experience the full wonder and vibrancy of the exhibitions we have on offer.

One in 12 men (8 percent) and one in 200 women (0.5 percent) arecolour vision deficient; an estimated 350 million people worldwide.More than one million Australians are colour blind, as are over 3,500 of the 83,000 students and staff at the University of Sydney.

While people with normal colour vision see overone million shades of colour, those with colour visiondeficiencyonly see an estimated 10 percent of hues and shades.As a result, colours can appear dull, indistinct, and difficult to discern.
