This month the Utrecht Central Museum in the Netherlands offered an unusual art exhibition called The Blind Spot. This exhibition was accessible to the visually disabled. Sighted visitors are encouraged to wear a blindfold on their eyes as they experience the artworks. This exhibition excited the other senses other than the visual sense. Visitors could look at artworks as expected. Besides, they could also touch and smell them. The show was designed to provide a better experience for museum goers with poor eyesight. The Blind Spot recreated existing famous paintings, but with extra dimensions, such as sound and smell. Visitors could even get a “feel” for the art, which included touchable elements. Visitor Manssouri seemed to enjoy his experience. He smiled as he moved his hands over cheese, grapes and bread, part of the representation of a famous 1610 painting by Floris van Dvck. “The first thing that struck me was the smell. I could really smell the fragrant cheese, and I touched it too.” Manssouri said. Manssouri wondered how the food did not fall from its unbalanced position. “That was really surprising to feel…I guess it was glued on pretty well,” Manssouri said. Artist Jasper and designer Jeroen created The Blind Spot. They said they were inspired by an experience they shared with a blind visitor at an art show one year ago. "One day, somebody who could not see was there. At the place we served food out of this work, and we helped her touch the artwork. She was blind and she had a lot of feelings. She was touched. So we had the realization, ‘Wow, we have something.’ That moment was the starting point to actually create this exhibition.” Jasper said. The museum’s head Steffie said The Blind Spot was an impressive experiment on the way to more such improvements. 4. What made the exhibition special? A. Visually disabled visitors were allowed in. B. Original famous paintings were on show. C. There were various foods offered in it. D. The exhibits could be heard or smelled. 5. Why did Manssouri feel surprised? A. He touched his favorite artwork. B. The smell of the food was sweet. C. The food was fixed so firmly. D. The paintings were made of cheese. 6. Where did the idea of the exhibition come from? A. A famous 1610 painting. B. A previous experience with a blind visitor. C. Realization of more sense dimensions. D. A blind visitor’s recommendation. 7. What is Steffie’s attitude towards the exhibition? A. Grateful. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Favorable. C Bing Dwen Dwen, the cute mascotof the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, has been selling like hotcakes. Why is the ice—glazed panda so popular?
