Blind dating; V&A music hall exhibition

Available for over a year

Mani Djazmi presents this week and looks at dating and museum visits from a blind perspective. Angus Huntley and Paula Page are both blind and talk about their experiences of dating both sighted and other blind people. Mani reveals his own experience of going on a date in a museum, which leads us nicely into the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London, where Peter White joins a specially-enhanced tour of an exhibition on lost history of the music hall, 'Music Hall: Sickert and the Three Graces'. The curator Kate Bailey explains some of the additional features she's added for blind people to help them better enjoy the exhibition such as a scented experience, where the smell of oranges becomes evident. Visitors are also asked to feel replicas of the hooped skirts which female performers would have worn on stage. Peter meets other VIPs on the tour and one even sings for him!
