Abstract
This article aims to describe the methodology used to accessibilize visual arts exhibitions aimed mainly at visually impaired people. The methodology involves audio description, tactile photographs and a tracking system. By means of two workshops of 40 hours each, audio description scripts that harmonized with the tactile pieces, planned simultaneously with the preparation of the scripts, were discussed. The research project has the participation of researchers in the areas of audio description, museology and computational design. The methodology is being tested, with the mounting of an exhibition at the Museum of Photography and researchers from UECE and UFC.
