American Printing House for the Blind

The Dot Experience is APH’s re-imagined museum. As an experience it won’t just be a museum – it will also incorporate elements of an attraction, factory tour, and center of education. Scheduled to open in 2026, this dynamic destination is at the intersection of innovation, insight, and opportunity through:  

• Compelling first-person stories of blindness and the human experience  
• Cutting edge innovations of past, present, and future conceived and created by and with people who are blind or low vision  
• World-class treasures like Helen Keller’s desk, the piano Stevie Wonder played on as a child, the first guide dog harness, and a rare book by Louie Braille published in 1829  
• An unprecedented set of applied inclusive design standards that puts disability access front and center 

The Dot Experience is on a mission to change perspectives about blindness, encourage people to act in their own ways to make the world more welcoming for everyone, and lead as a model museum of inclusivity. Join us in making Louisville more accessible to all!
