Etru offers visitors a video guide in Italian Sign Language (LIS): a collection of over 90 videos featuring artworks and museum sections, presented with accessible text and accompanied by video descriptions in LIS. This is a useful tool to help sign-language-using visitors discover the artworks and engage with the content of the museum’s various sections.

The VideoguidaLIS app can be downloaded for free from the Apple and Android app stores or used online on the national VIDEOGUIDALIS platform.

Tactile tables equipped with tactile reliefs, bas-relief models, and 3D models of the major masterpieces in the Villa Giulia collections are available for visitors to use freely along the tour route. Each table features QR codes that provide access to additional content on the website, including video guides in Italian Sign Language (LIS) and in-depth textual information in English.

Visit the page dedicated to the MULTISENSORY ITINERARY to discover all the available content.

The immersive room dedicated to the history of the Castellani family and their extensive collection of gold and silver objects and antiquities features a video guide in Italian Sign Language (LIS) with English subtitles, which accompanies the video projections.

The room is located on the first floor of the museum’s left wing and serves as an introduction to the Villa’s main floor, where the Castellani Collection of ceramics, bronzes, and gold and silver objects is on display.

The Educational Services Office is available to assist groups with their own sign language interpreter for guided tours of the collections and temporary exhibitions.

The service is free and available by appointment. For more information, please email mn-etru.didattica@cultura.gov.it
